Generally agree, but when one of the two participants in a market is actively hostile to users and the other is actually competing for market share, seems like that's worth acknowledging. Especially when we so many examples of either outright collusion or as soon as one corporation introduces a new hostile feature all the others in the market follow.

On that note, I'm waiting for the day Nvidia announces a subscription service for unlocking cores or clock speeds.

Yeah, don't be loyal is exactly what this post is about imo. Switch to whoever is treating you better. Every company eventually gets so big they can bully from the top. As soon as they do that you just go to the scrappy competitor that's actually providing higher value.

Nvidia used to have the better price to performance and compatibility so I was 'team' Nvidia for a long time and just didn't consider AMD, even after they became more viable. Now I'll consider switching to AMD. Open source especially gets my attention
