Why on Earth would they make it Nvidia exclusive given how thoroughly that company has screwed the pooch on open source drivers and consequently how dominant AMD has come to be in Linux gaming?

Don't Nvidia cards natively support this through gamestream? I don't know if Amd has something similar or not but you can already easily set up something like this to stream to a steam deck

Nvidia game stream is no longer being maintained, although it’s still present in the current versions of GeForce Experience.

The Moonlight/Sunshine projects are open source implementations of Nvidia’s Game Stream protocol and they support non-Nvidia cards.

The nvidia/vulkan open source driver is apparently pretty rad. I haven’t had a chance to test it myself yet since I am running a dual gpu setup that contains one gpu that isn’t supported. The original maintainer for nouveau is apparently also working at Nvidia and contributing to the project as an Nvidia employee now too soooo maybe they are turning over a new leaf?

He goes into detail in the video below. https://odysee.com/@BrodieRobertson:5/did-nvidia-just-officially-support:2

Probably because CUDA is the only successful AMD-can't-do-this EEE effort, ever since it was an ATI-can't-do-this EEE effort. And those fuckers are clinging to it and milking it.
