That doesn't make any sense. If you have, for example, the latest
NVidia card, and a driver update breaks it, you are being enticed to
buy a newer... what, exactly? Firstly, there is no "newer" anything
if you already own the newest NVidia card, and secondly, the driver
would be buggy even with a newer card if there is one.

Breaking your own product with a driver update is bad PR. What it
does is to entice to switch to a competing product. Why would any
sane company do that? They don't.

Your comment makes no sense.
