This is how they think in WCCF Tech

Nvidia is actively promoting DLSS technology as a clear advantage over AMD graphics cards. AMD does have its own FSR technology, and WCCF Tech has noticed that a number of AMD-supported games have FSR support but no DLSS support.

Of the 13 such games released over the past few months, only three have support for not only FSR, but also DLSS. Moreover, the list of games without DLSS also includes very large projects, such as Star Wars: Jedi Survivor and Resident Evil 4. 

The authors of the source turned to AMD itself for comment, and the company responded. 

To clarify, there are community sites that track the implementation of upscaling technologies, and these sites indicate that there are a number of games that currently only support DLSS. 

Is AMD preventing DLSS from appearing in games?

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution is an open source technology that supports multiple GPU architectures, including consoles and competing solutions, and we believe that an open approach that is widely supported across multiple hardware platforms is the best approach that benefits developers and gamers. AMD is committed to doing the best for game developers and gamers, and we give developers the freedom to implement FSR in any game they choose.

The authors of the source felt that AMD evaded a direct answer, and turned to Nvidia. She answered more directly. 

Nvidia does not and will not in any way block, restrict, prevent or prevent developers from implementing competitor technologies. We provide support and tools for all game developers to easily integrate DLSS if they want to, and even created Nvidia Streamline technology to make it easier for game developers to add competing technologies to their games.

To be fair, there are quite a few games that have DLSS support but no FSR support. In particular, the source notes that since March of this year, DLSS has appeared in 40 games, and FSR only in 17.
