I wonder why AMD allowed FSR 2.0 to work on Nvidia cards?
They didn't really have a choice. With them showing up to the upscaling party late and DLSS being a smash hit with the 2.0 release they we're starting from quite a bit behind. In order to get any traction they had to make it compatible with as many cards as they could in order to convince developers to actually support it. Developers will not waste resources supporting tech or software that has only a niche market (case in point: when SLI support was left solely at the discretion of developers to implement it basically died overnight) AMD had to say "look virtually everything supports our tech so it's worth implementing in your game".
