abstract: Nvidia's chip dominance has made it indispensable across AI development, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise hardware. Competitors struggle to match its software stack, ecosystem lock-in, and performance leadership. Investors, cloud providers, and AI startups face high switching costs and limited alternatives, making 'loving' Nvidia a pragmatic necessity.
