That is awful wtf?Boundary will no longer feature Ray Tracing, ditches DLSS over FSR & XeSS
Even though Surgical Scalpels showcased some really GPU-heavy RT effects for Boundary, the game will not feature any of them at launch.

Jesus fucking christ. I've always had this susipcion, but now thats basically hard evidence. AMD prohibits DLSS in their sponsored games and also proper RT implementations."And specific thanks to AMD, who very much provided us with great technical and resource support to make sure FSR 2 performs extremely well in Boundary. AMD has been a wonderful partner these last few months.”
I think people had the wrong impression that these features were somehow standard, unless the vendor makes an honest attempt maintain support out of their own resources there is always inherently going to be inertia against implementing even simple things such as DLSS ...
No one has that impression here. What they do know is that if they have FSR2 integrated then everything is in place already in the engine to integrate DLSS2, making the work relatively easy.
Still it doesn't change the fact that it's non-standard feature so there's no incentive for them to do "extra work" for the benefit of a single vendor. They were totally fine with implementing XeSS since there was a standardized version (DP4A) and there's not as many concerns about obsolescence either ...
FSR isnt a standard feature, too. TAAU is standard, so every other features means additional work without any benefits...
It's a matter of interpretation and not every developer or anyone has to subscribe to that favourable line of thought so don't be surprised to see pushback from the industry whether that's because of nefarious reasons or not. If you or anybody wants DLSS to be the expectation then you and the others should hope that Nvidia change their own ways rather than make the entire AAA game industry (who mostly appeals to console customers) pivot to them ...
What do you propose to change in ways with which Nvidia is distributing DLSS right now? Make it compatible with other h/w even if it will lead to said h/w running with DLSS worse than in native res?

Making it compatible with other hardware would be a decent starting point otherwise you're going to have cynical doubters who see DLSS as nothing more than a self-enriching power move for Nvidia to get developers solely simping for them out of their own free time that benefits no one else in the industry ...
