I doubt very much it’s about whether they are allowed too or not. They’re the ones at the top of the hardware supply chain, designing their own chips and having them fabricated. It’s them telling other companies, like Gigabyte and EVGA, what they are allowed or not allowed to do.
Hmdi 2.1 and the hdmi consortium prevented them from releasing code. It wasn’t even proprietary, just based on a licensed implementation from what I understood.
So 20-series onwards.
Yes. Everything older is unsupported in terms of the new Linux stuff anymore. Planned obsolescence yk?

Well their proprietary driver works fine for older hardware.
And 16xx
Yep! My pre-built 1660 super i got years ago is still chugging along amazingly as a streaming device for my steam deck.
