It's not about deserving. It's about the fact that once a company grows so dominant, that they will undoubtedly exploit their position of power. Which is bad for innovation, bad for the consumers and so on.
Find it strange to focus on what that article says when 10 years ago we were using CUDA in a professional context for real world work and AMD didn't have anything competitive at all in the field till very recently.
If the tech was comparable maybe we could entertain the idea but Nvidia was just so absurdly ahead in tooling than AMD that the better dev team won.
This isn't about "deserving". Clearly you still don't understand why monopoly prevention exists.
It's about protecting the customer and the market. Yes, Nvidia deserves their success - of course - but the concentration isn't good for the market. Companies exist to provide services and products to customers and should enjoy no special treatment from us, no matter how successful.
Also, any measure should be not as disruptive as to bankrupt the company or even put it in second place in the market. It's just about leveling the playing field.
It's Intel, not Nvidia: https://www.statista.com/statistics/754557/worldwide-gpu-shi...
Intel is on the verge of bankruptcy
I thought we were talking about market share.
An incompetent company shouldn't be allowed to succeed through government pressure just because a competent company raced ahead.
The direction of the tide has been obvious for 15-20 years and AMD fumbled it, they earned and deserve where they now sit.

I'm of the opinion that NVIDIA raced ahead thanks also to shady anti-consumer tactics (https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2018/03/08/repor... https://youtu.be/H0L3OTZ13Os) so..

In fact, splitting a company has been shown to be beneficial to investors (both "halves" are usually doing well).
