I've been downloading the drivers directly from nvidia for years and they are not difficult to use or update.
Imagine that you get a USB/PCI WiFi/bluetooth adapter or any other hardware that is supported only by newest Linux kernels. Nvidia kernel module is usually not buildable with newest kernels.
I wanted to say that "they are not difficult to use or update" only untill you meat with a special use case. A requirement of a newer Linux kernel is probably the most probable one.
AMDGPU is fully open source nowadays and is in the mainline kernel. Everything (except OpenCL for now, unfortunately) works out of the box on Linux.
P.S. Sorry for many emails.

Binaries are always a pain.I disagree with this. In Ubuntu (and derivatives) NVidia binary drivers are installed and usually work out of the box (even on Optimus-based notebooks), and OpenCL support can be installed directly from the official Ubuntu repositories. I've been using darktable like this for years and never had anyproblem installing or upgrading the system.That's because Ubuntu maintainers got all the pain instead of you... But that is about the situation in general, not just OpenCL. AMD has recently reworked their OpenCL support and their work is not fully finished yet, here Nvidia's OpenCL is much more mature and will cause less troubles.
