Depends on the hardware manufacturer. From what I know, developers at Intel are treated pretty well. It all depends on how integral the software component is to the overall product's market success. In the case of Intel, a GPU with poor and buggy drivers is not gonna sell, so software is pretty important.

Isn't Intel struggling now because their definition of 'pretty well' wasn't good enough and they lost key people to competitors?
