In one hand I want the Nvidia quasi monopoly to end. On the other hand it might bankrupt AMD on its way.

NVidia has no monopoly in the PC space. Intel + AMD combined far outnumber NVidia GPUs overall, NVidia just has certain niche markets where they dominate with high profit margins but that's not what this story is about.

If we are talking gaming (which by no means is a niche market), nvidia absolutely dominates the GPU market. The steam survey reports a market share of 75% for nvidia gpus

They also dominate compute. There's still a lot of software that depends on CUDA.

Oh yeah absolutely. Doing GPU parallel computing for many people is synonymous with using CUDA.

Yes, "certain niche markets where they dominate with high profit margins".
