I completely agree that Nvidia is one of the least consumer-friendly companies, but for a long time they have simply offered the better features like DLSS and RT efficiency. And depending on the tier of card you're buying, that is also the case in terms of raw performance, even now.
AMD and Intel also has their share of shitty practices, so it's not like you either buy from "the good guys" or "the bad guys". They're all corporations that would, and do, happily screw you over if it means more money.
I agree though. While there are some valid reasons for buying an Nvidia GPU, a lot of people keep buying them simply because they're used to it or that they're already popular. If something like the 9070 XT, or any weaker cards, would meet your needs then you should seriously consider looking elsewhere than Nvidia.
