It's definitely Nvidia's problem if this breaks something. Nothing in the D3D/OpenGL specs says that you can (not) use certain executable names.

Yeah, I'm sure NVIDIA is going to get around to "fixing" a decade's old industry standard for something that contributes less than 10% of their revenue.

of course they do.

nvidia even has an official api for a game to identify itself so they dont need to look at executable name

Phrasing, I wasn't blaming anyone, just curious about the technicalities.
