> Because AWS and GCP chose to innovate with their own accelerators, Nvidia heavily favoured Azure for a while.

AWS and GCP work on competitors to Nvidia's products, so Nvidia favors Azure who is not doing that, and this is somehow Nvidia's fault or even a problem?

Looks more like Nvidia was hedging its bets in case AWS or GCP succeeded at developing competitive AI chips and then transitioned completely away from Nvidia.

It's not a problem from Nvidia's perspective, and AWS/GCP wouldn't have a right to complain - but users might reasonably conclude that this is a problem, and likewise regulators might consider it unacceptable for Nvidia to have this much market power, if they actually had the technical expertise to examine such things.
