AMD had been contributing kernel level bindings for their hardware for many years. Nvidia is just getting started, but they have the funding so it is picking up pace quite fast. Intel is a bit better but still not there yet, also their GPUs are both the least popular and performant.
Honestly, I think AMD’s deserves this and more. Their decisions led them here. If it weren’t for what they have been doing, Linux gaming would be worse.
One step at a time. Support for an entire manufacturer’s line, not just a couple hardware configurations is a massive step already for a distro that was originally designed for specific hardware.

It needs to run on non-AMD hardware too.

We all need to run on non-Nvidia hardware too.
