If even 25% of them decide hardware purchases based on driver support, 3 million sales isn’t ignorable. (The number of PCs sold globally per year is similarly 300,000,000, so even then theyd lose out on 12 million potential sales YEARLY) The market is also pretty shit post-covid, so I’m sure every hardware company is dying for a way to boost sales metrics.
