He paid the same for his card as any windows user. Since Nvidia makes the drivers and not microsoft your point makes no sense.

It actually does make sense if you take it in the meaning that, assuming it is his only os, and assuming that it was because he didn't want to spend money on windows, he has to wait as NVidia doesn't make drivers so quickly for linux, which wouldn't be in such demand.
