Distant cousins, and they had never met until they were both CEOs. This is a stupid trope and people need to stop using it.

The long history of both companies doing a half-assed job of entering the others markets speaks differently.

Every 'run cuda on AMD' project gets bought then cancelled. Every cuda alternative is understaffed and cancelled as soon as it starts to gain any traction, etc.

To me it looks like a clear attempt to not hurt each others businesses whilst being deny-able if anyone accuses them of unfair market practices/collusion.
