This isn't going to affect Intel usage in the near future.
True, it won't significantly shift the downtrend Intel is experiencing but it's one more reason why that downtrend exists. Corporations are already switching over to AMD's EPYC for their server platforms and Intel is as entrenched as ever in the Laptop side of corporate business (which runs Windows anyway)
Companies generally buy whatever is cheap and available
Not quite true, they buy what makes them the most money for the cheapest price and due to that context Intel has been on the way out for a while now.
Dell, HP, etc rarely offer AMD as an option.
While there are a lot more systems available with an Intel chip saying they rarely offer AMD is stretching it a bit. Dell has listing for 51 Intel and 12 AMD laptop options, HP ~190 Intel and ~90 AMD, there is an imbalance there but if you are a corporate customer looking for something you will find an AMD alternative there. And in the server space Intel has been/is being gradually reduced to the second choice option with AMD EPYC being chosen for the premium products.
And this is just ancillary Linux drivers, not a major make or break component.
Might be ancillary to you and me but to a corporation this is a piece of liability they now would take on when buying new Intel CPUs for servers. Not by a lot but likely by enough to upsell them to the product using AMD instead.
Realistically lt will lead to enterprises using AMD instead, Windows just simply isn't even an option for many enterprise uses (mainly server applications)
The park design should have accounted for the crosswalk on the top intersection from the get go or, alternatively, once the people made their desire for a path there obvious. The park isn't some sentient thing with its own opinion, it got made by people with 2 main functions: enhancing the environment and serving as a foot path. It is obviously failing at the second until the designers finally relented and put a proper path down to the crosswalk.
Note: you will always get people not using the path but when it's enough people to form a permanent trail then the park design obviously did not account for a rather popular destination and should be revised.
If anything they see lost revenue because if users can federate companies will no longer buy licenses for external contractors' access to internal repos, so where currently a single contractor employee results on however many companies they currently have projects for if this went through that number would drop to 1.
Plus someone might just make a servide solely responsible for providing users whoch can federate with gitlab which would implode theor business model. Unless they link federated users to the license in which case nobody would usemit. In either cese their business model stands in opposition to this.
For this to be a good thing the shareholders would need to agree to a technical CEO rather than a marketing one and that comes with the wee lil' issue of raining on their AI parade. If Tim Cook goes his replacement will be even worse.
