What does that have to do with needing NVIDIA?

The newer versions of HDMI aren't supported on AMD cards due to licencing issues.

Something about AMD not being able to license the HDMI protocol in a way that allows open source code.

The main Nvidia driver that people use is proprietary, so it doesn't have that problem

Obviously AMD and Intel don't include HDMI on their cards.
