Game makers care because if the game experience suffers because of cheaters, griefers and so forth, the customers won't come back. If you want to sell things to players in the game, the players have to want to play.
Anti-cheat is a big deal.
So I would say that undetectable debug features, ones that can be turned on without indicating this to the title (or cheat detection code on the platform) are bad for game economies.
Since card makers want to sell graphics cards, they have the same goal as the title developers. Not surprising they'd turn these off (or at least make them very visible).
