Void to you perhaps, but you're thinking like a disgruntled consumer rather than a major corporation with liability and marketing concerns.
Nvidia would never do what you suggest, since PhysX is an open standard software that can be licensed for practically nothing by any company that wants to use it.
AMD could even conceivably make their own drivers using CUDA (with little or no cost) that take advantage of PhysX without using Nvidia hardware..
With that said, what incentive does Nvidia have to do AMD's work for them when AMD can do it themselves if they wanted?
I also find it absurdly ironic and laughable that AMD would rather partner with their biggest competitor Intel (Havok) than Nvidia when it comes to developing game physics..
