I think here is real problem. For these you need a team, not any team, you need a big team with different backgrounds for each GPU vendor. But, being optimistic, if you decide to create a new GPU drivers technology using rump and being able to use unmodified GPU drivers for any Unix-like OS reduces costs for these companies and this way promoting rump across open source world, so maybe (just maybe) some of the vendors start to invest in this new technology and other non-GPU drivers vendors can be interested on rump too.
