And it's not even responsibility really. If an engineer from company A had introduced a regression that impacts company A's direct competitor (company B)... That's borderline sabotage.
It's not sabotage only because the engineer from company A (nVidia) fixed the regression.
As Michael says:
''Here is open-source at its finest with a NVIDIA Linux kernel engineer ultimately making a fix to a performance regression that came up for AMD integrated and discrete graphics when running on the early Linux 6.15 kernel code.''
A lesson for us all.
You seem to have missed the lesson completely:
