Also there is another factor to consider : - maybe they are bound by (secret) trade agreements with .. (ahem..) various other corporations and organisations all around the world.. Like it or not this is the reality in the corporate world today.. :/ Just my 2 (euro)cents.. Florentin
Quoting Richard M Stallman rms@gnu.org:
I'm sorry Richard, I've always had the greatest respect for you, but Ihave to strongly disagree. I imagine Nvidia has probably already done a cost-benefit analysis, and determined that it's not worth it for them to participate

Meanwhile, public disapproval is a significant factor in their conclusions. Protests can affect them.
