AMD has the console market. I guarentee you next generation consoles will have adaptive sync because it makes a huge difference. In fact, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Nintendo's, Sony's, and Microsoft's interest is the reason why AMD pursued adaptive sync the way they did. They undeniably have the most to gain. As TVs turn to adaptive sync, so too will monitors.
Yes, NVIDIA, using their ~80% marketshare, is driving card buyers into a walled garden of G-sync monitors but, as I said previously, G-sync monitors are prohibitively priced which keeps the market tiny. I'd argue the market for FreeSync monitors is already larger simply because of their lower price--despite AMD's smaller market share.
Bare in mind that there is a third player that dwarfs AMD and NVIDIA: Intel. Intel announced adaptive sync support is coming. G-sync will only exist as long as NVIDIA wants to keep funding it. The decision has already been made that adaptive sync is the future. No one wants to license G-sync from NVIDIA.
