As other have noted your information is unfortunately out of date. Generally AMD GPUs work out of the box and Nvidia ones sometimes do not. And while Nvidia's proprietary driver is fine-ish, there were for a long time problems using Wayland compositors with Nvidia hardware. Hardware rendering was only enabled in the Steam client by default a months or two ago after Nvidia-related problems were addressed, too. And using Nvidia's driver taints your kernel prevents you from using Secure Boot, and other problems.

That said, support for Nvidia hardware isn't bad or anything. It's just that there can be little bugs and some limitations. And only Nvidia can fix them, and that can take a lot of arm twisting.

I can confirm from my experience earlier this year, that AMD out-of-the-box compatibility is superior on Fedora. While I ran into various assorted minor issues with GTX 980TI and 1080TI cards (i.e. "mature" hardware), both the 6750XT and 6950XT cards that I tried (eventually settling on the 6950XT) worked flawlessly out of the box. The Mesa amdgpu experience is really nice now.

Is this anecdotal evidence? Absolutely. However, this was a new home workstation build on Fedora 37, not an extensively lived-in (i.e. customized) install. So, it's quite likely to be a representative experience.
