To become a person who writes driver infrastructure for this sort of thing, you need to be a smart person who commits, probably, several of their most productive years to becoming an expert in a particular niche skillset. This only makes sense if you get a job somewhere that has a proven commitment of taking driver work seriously and rewarding it over multiple years.

NVidia is the only company in history that has ever written non-awful drivers, and therefore it's not so implausible to believe that it might be the only company that can ever hire people who write non-awful drivers, and will continue to be the only company that can write non-awful drivers.
