So they are producing drivers for their cards, and I still don't understand your comment. They're not fully open source, which is a valid concern, but you said they "often don't give much of a shit about linux"...they're literally producing drivers for their cards for Linux, just like they do for Windows. I'm not sure what else you want them to do.
For some of their cards as the article mentions.
Regularly release drivers for more of their graphic cards, including older ones like the GTX 10-series which are still incredibly popular.
I went here and was able to find 64 bit Linux drivers for GTX 1080 Ti that were released as far back as January 24th of this year. I didn't search other models but it's clear that at least that 10-series card is being supported.
The way I understood the article, only some drivers were being open-sourced (and then only partially).
