Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?

This was going to be my first answer. I had a boycott of ATI due to horrible driver support on Linux.
And now it’s just horrible drivers for windows.
/S? … a 5700xt owner.
What GPU doesn’t have horrible drivers?
Is it? AMD’s first idea was to put a GPU in the same package as the CPU, and then you buy a discreet GPU and crossfire the two together. That didn’t work and it was quickly abandoned.
Then AMD releases Faildozer around the same time Intel gets their shit in order with Core. The company gets incredibly cash strapped and very nearly falls apart. The CPU side eventually got it together, but the GPU side seems to be crawling out from that nightmare only recently.
The GPU side admittedly was what kept the CPU side from just imploding. Bulldozer was really really awful.
