I'm writing this on an all out Intel machine and I can tell you one thing: Intel DO NOT know how to make a decent video card. Can't wait for my GeForce to get back from repairs...
Think about it.

It wouldn't happen, they would have an anti trust case shoved in their face quicker than you could say Intel CSI.

Also, Intel don't make discreet GPU's so I don't know what you're on about there.

why can't someone just hack the drivers again?

i imagine it can't be that hard
The encryption is supposed to be very strong and you would have to re hack for each driver release.
