The problem is that NVidia is a single company participating with multiple interdependent markets. They are participating with the market of hardware specification, and they are participating in the market of driver implementation, and they are participating in the market of userland software. This is called "vertical integration".
Because of copyright, NVidia gets an explicit government-enforced monopoly over the driver implementation market. Sure, 3rd-party projects like nouveau get to "compete", but NVidia is given free reign to cripple that competition, simply by refusing to share necessary hardware (and firmware) specs; and also by compelling experienced engineers (anyone who works on NVidia's driver implementation) to sign NDAs, legally enforcing the secrecy of their specs.
On top of this, NVidia gets to be anti-competitive with the driver-compatibility of its userland software, including CUDA, GSync, DLSS, etc.
When a company's market participation is vertically integrated, that participation becomes anticompetitive. The only way we can resolve this problem is be dissolving the company into multiple market-specific companies.
