With my past experience in Khronos, NVIDIA is indeed a member and they sent decent guys to the meetings -- but only for strategic reasons, rather than "advocating for open standards" as you described. My experiences there actually told me the opposite that they will never drop CUDA. Objectively they also have incentive to do so: fighting with 100-ish companies to ratify something is always slower than rolling out an feature in an ecosystem you have total control of.

Not just that, but they get to abuse their near monopoly to strongarm many companies into using Cuda. Can't say more unfortunately...
