Large companies that are themselves (near) monopolies see the risk of only having one supplier. This should be evident to all spectators.

Nuh, free markut regulgates itself. Smol govment only way (except for suppressing the minorities).

I mean, this is kinda the free market at work? Nvidia built and dominated a market, and AMD and Intel are pouring billions in to give people an alternative which will drive prices down?

True, but this will also help boost alternatives to nvidia for consumers too I'd wager, and with that probably also better Linux support along with it.
