It isn't like Nvidia has no reason to allow other manufacturer's cards to use Gsync. They are still making money on each Gsync monitor sold.
Also the monitor manufacturers might put pressure on Nvidia for Gsync to be allowed on other cards, if it isn't already. If AMD and Intel video can conceivably use it in the future, that opens up their market, possibly sells more monitors, and Nvidia makes a profit from each one.
The percentage of consumers who care enough to not only buy a new monitor for this feature, but pay $100 more than one without it, is already tiny. Opening it up would help it catch on and maybe be better for Nvidia's bottom line than keeping it proprietary. I'm sure they'll do whatever they think will net them more money.
