Well I doubt the mainstream actually tweaks 3D settings in nVidia control panel. Anti cheat making some online games not work is a bigger issue but still not worth it.

That’s nvidia’s proprietary software, only nvidia can add stuff to it.

As for anti-cheat, kernel level anti cheat is not going to happen on Linux, nor should it (or continue being used in Windows)

Nobody is asking ‘software’ companies to support software they didn’t write.

We are asking hardware companies to support their hardware and not use different software as an excuse not to replace faulty hardware.

They can reflash their own software to test if needed.

Of course hardware vendors could be legally mandated to adhere to standards to make things easier.

No they don’t. The 1st amendment only prevents the government from censoring people, not corporations. In fact the 1st amendment protects corporate censoring.

It just looks brighter to the point it could be different gamma settings.

There is a bigger brightness range in the top screenshot the bottom looks washed out.
