Nvidia eventually had a spat with just about any corporation it has ever worked with. Their only partnership that stood the test of time is probably Nintendo.

from what i remember, morris chang is a close friend to hueng.

i wonder what will happen to nvidia's relationship with TMSC now.

Morris is almost 100 years old. His role at TSMC was instrumental, but now is more of an ornamental figurehead.

But even then, the original Switch 1 homebrew relied on an oversight in NVIDIA's Tegra chip that blew open the whole platform due to the ability to execute unsigned code. The Switch 1 was actually pretty locked down. Nintendo worked hard on securing it properly, only for it to all be for naught due to their SoC vendor making a massive blunder.

I wish I could have seen what was said in the meetings between the two companies when the first Switch exploit was released, considering it was fully on NVIDIA.

Yeah but that was only 1st gen and Nintendo can be just as much to blame for exposing it so easily. They fixed the second rev.
