Linux (with OSS drivers) is (still) an untapped market. Whoever can get good OSS drivers out the door first would be the first to dominate that market... And dominating the market, no matter how small it is, is always a plus.

OSS radeon drivers are pretty good, and generally so are intel's (except for poor performance in some chipsets), so there are already some companies "dominating" the open-source driver space. Besides this little aspect, I agree that it should be the hardware manufacturer doing what it takes to stimulate the market.
