My unfounded speculation is that the 3060Ti limiter (which was mostly bypassed due to an accidental leak of dev drivers) acted as a bit of a test balloon to see how it would be attacked before implementing it on the 3070/3080 silicon.

I wonder if the « accidental » release was to avoid the motivation for a massive lawsuit.

If apple can get sued for « excessive » throttling when batteries lose peak cranking amps, nvidia would fare much worse.

You are missing the main part, "Apple downgraded your CPU behind your back" which is very different then "The iPhone box clearly mentions that when the battery is low the CPU will throttle and a notification is shown".

It seems the fanboys managed to trick you in believing that Apple is the victim here.
