They're an extra thing you have to install, which makes them less plug and play than AMD, but a huge mess? It's far from being that bad nowadays

Not an extra thing that you have to install, an extra thing that you have to maintain, forever, instead of just letting the OS do it for you. Have you never borked your main machine with a flubbed driver update? Or found that, uh oh, you broke CUDA last time you upgraded and didn't notice until you tried to do some work?

No, I didn't. I installed the driver once, same with cuda, and I let the system updates to the rest.

And guess what, it actually does just work™
