Nvidia releases a Linux desktop supercomputer that's better price/performance wise than anything Wintel is doing and their whole new software stack will only run on WSL2. They aren't porting to Win32. Wow, it may actually be the year of Linux on the Desktop.

Because NVidia naturally doesn't want to pay for Windows licenses.

NVidia works closely with Microsoft to develop their cards, all major features come first in DirectX, before landing on Vulkan and OpenGL as NVidia extensions, and eventually become standard after other vendors follow up with similar extensions.
