I think there may be more to it than a simple business decision.

There are probably certain technologies that nVidia and ATI (An other 
graphics device manufacturors) use under licence. Thus to disclose 
their  source may violate the licence under which they themeselves are 
given permission to use the technologies.

So maybe there are other obligations graphics manufacturors are under, 
and it isn't pure evil motivations?
