I don't see how it makes any difference who writes the GPU drivers. Apple's entire business model is selling all-in-one solutions and the price you pay for that as the vendor is the whole box is your problem from the customer's perspective.
GPU driver issues? I don't care if they are Nvidia's (or AMD/ATI's) bugs, Nvidia (or AMD/ATI) is your GPU vendor, you have them fix that shit and just deliver that to me in an OS update. Otherwise your shit is busted.
If my Honda car had some firmware in it programmed by some 3rd party shop in China and it started acting up, I would damn well demand Honda figure out how to get it fixed regardless of whose bug it was. They are the ones who sold me the integrated solution, it is now their problem. Same thing with Apple devices, especially since they've chosen to create an ecosystem of computers with no user serviceable or replaceable parts.

The problem is the hardware seems to be failing, and all the drivers did was alter the observable behavior for the faulty hardware (unfortunately, making it worse, but that's not the salient point here). It's not reasonable to blame a company for a supposedly bad software revision, when the fundamental issue is bad hardware.
