I think its more a case of trying to hold on to the market shares they own. Its been slow and in very very small pieces, but the fact amd has made their ai gpu stuff open source, have semi decent integrated gpus and have open gpu drivers did some things.
On top of that a company coalition against nvidia for a cuda replacement was started. Nvidia have to be careful in the next few years
They might also want to be in the running for a future Steam Deck or Linux based gaming console. And fully open source drivers is a requirement, especially if Valve is involved.
There’s also the whole thing about how AMD gets improvements from community involvement, and Nvidia then has to integrate that into their closed development cycle. They’re always a step behind and losing out on all that free development labor.
