Is that deliberate to fuck with nVidia?
Nvidia is trying to put the blame on Linux, but Intel and AMD don't have these issues because they open sourced and upstreamed their drivers (for AMD they mostly did), which is the way to work with open source.
Linux has always been fighting an uphill battle, but as it becomes more and more relevant it is becoming increasingly difficult to fight against it. Intel understands this, and AMD understands this.
The wording by Nvidia is telling for how they view Linux I think. In fairness it's probably very costly for them to go open source (one time cost at least).
So it's not the driver that is incompatible, it is Linux. And that led to the grandparent comment asking if Linux people are "deliberate to fuck with nvidia".
If nvidia had said "our driver is incompatible with the newest Linux kernel" then we probably wouldn't been having this thread.
nVidia probably saw this coming, but doesn't care that much to proactively work on it.
Most of those running ML applications don't have to update the kernel very promptly, and they only have to wait until mid-November, according to nVidia. This few months of delay couldn't possibly hurt nVidia to any meaningful degree.
