If you mean the vulkan, OpenGL and cuda drivers, I don't think that's going to happen, no. But people are already making those on top of the open-source mesa driver framework
Open-sourcing the user-space components, like you corrected.
AMD fully embraced open-source as a key part of its Linux strategy. Their amdgpu kernel driver is a standard part of the Linux kernel, and the user-space OpenGL and Vulkan drivers are the open-source Radeon and RADV drivers included in Mesa.

Its funny how effective shame can be.

Better late than never.
Wish Nvidia some day open their drivers to integrate natively with Linux kernel.

What do you mean? They've released code for their kernel drivers under a permissive license: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

AMD has a "it just works" experience.

Me, who has been using OptiScaler to get FSR4 in games that don't even use it on a GTX 1660 Super for the past month or so
Heh. Cute. Taking your time on that, eh, AMD?
