When you have Nvidia doing things like their GPP that actually limits the availability of AMD products, I'd say their is something limiting their ability to produce better hardware. Development costs money. You need to be able to sell your product gain the capital to develop new products. Intel and AMD collaborated on the Kaby Lake-G. It features an Intel based CPU combined with Vega based GPU. It is a great option for gaming laptops. It was supposed to be in several lines by now like MSI and Asus's laptops. It's not though. You know why? Asus and MSI signed up for the GPP. So they can't put the chip in their ROG and Gaming X laptops. Nvidia has 80% of the market. They are using that fact to bully their partners into making their gaming lines Nvidia exclusive. I'm sure they'll eventually get a fined for their GPP shenanigans. By then the damage will be done and the fine will be more than worth it. It's what Intel did to AMD when the Athlon line launched and after a over a decade they just got fined for it.

It's not that hard for AMD to compete with Nvidia, they've done it multiple times before and they were able to compete against Intel with their cash strapped budget ...
And Nvidia can sell their products to vendors however they like, there's absolutely nothing preventing vendors from releasing a new brand to sell AMD cards ...
What Intel did is totally different to what Nvidia did, the former was accused of giving rebates to incentive OEMs not to purchase their competitors CPUs while the latter is restricting brand name usage to their products ...

Nvidia blackmailed their AIBs and co-opted their gaming brands. There is plenty wrong with that. It's illegal.
