AMD has out-of-tree kernel drivers, but I bought nVidia because CUDA Just Works™ on consumer-grade cards with the tooling I want to use, I've only ever needed to upgrade off the Canonical-picked nVidia drivers three times in the last 20 years (one time because the GTX750 was too new for them), and I *CAN* upgrade off the Canonical-picked drivers without upgrading my whole kernel.
By contrast, when I reinstalled my mother's laptop with onboard AMD graphics, I had to switch her from the HWE kernel (6.5.x) to the regular generic kernel (5.x) because the AMD drivers were failing with UBSAN errors in the kernel log.

UBSan was enabled in release builds/binaries? By whom? AFAIK, that is neither recommended nor safe to do.
