Exactly.

Once I understood that, I decided to not buy NVIDIA.

No, nobody's to blame for that. Since a functional computer almost
always implies some "wrong vendor" at some place. I'm a bit miffed
by Hans throwing blame at those who deserve it the least (and he
even anticipates it: that makes it a bit stranger). Perhaps because
it's more difficult yelling at NVIDIA? I don't know.
