Arguably more petty. SJ has been dead for almost 15 year now, I imagine the C-suite might get over it at some point.
I can believe it. IIRC Jobs also snubbed ATI once after they leaked the GPUs going in the next PowerMac model.
Things have moved on since the days where GPUs in Macs were a priority.
But then the AI race has changed things. So who knows - maybe we will one day see official eGPU support from Apple and new drivers from nVidia. Wouldn't put on money on it though....
