I'll explain this by explaining why we have AMD. See a company typically doesn't want to put all their eggs in one basket, especially if it's in another company. So when Intel was trying to pitch their 8080 chip to IBM, IBM wanted to make sure if Intel died another company could make it, so AMD made the cheaper version and was given the stuff. Same thing with board manufacturers happened. Instead of being the only one who could make an nVidia card, several people can.
