The incentive to keeping it closed source is primarily part of a strategy to sabotage their competitors, which I hope is not a behavior that anyone here is complicit in.
I can't figure out what you mean by "sabotage their competitors". The term sabotage indicates that they are performing actions to actively harm their competitors, how is that related to keeping your source, which cointains your IP, private?
The open source community includes a lot of companies. The high-performance GPU companies are welcome to join this community any time they like.
It is nice to hear that they are welcome :p. Which they would even feel more so, if there were actual incentives being offered rather than trying to make their life artificial difficult.
