Maybe you are right, but I think they did that because they thought that would help them remain competitive, keeping the profit share that would normally go to board vendors, allowing them to sell cheaper while still making money, and compete better against Nvidia.
Maybe I remember it wrong, but I think Voodoo was already dying with Voodoo 2.
