Thing is we over dependent on NVIDIA , had there been other players like for processor we have Intel (bull ) and countering AMD , Snapdragon .... OS - Windows (bull ) and countering Ubuntu and other OS similarly for graphics card or for any other thing we needed many more players. Ah well couldn't say much reliably coz AI companies would have bought all out like they are doing for Ram and Storage. GOSH I HATE AI
