They might theoretically be on the hook for damages they introduce, but in reality, there's already a ton of services running on every device that can compromise you if the infrastructure behind it is hacked. EVGA wouldn't even be a worthwhile target.
And, as mentioned above, NVidia already has the necessary infrastructure in place. So the effective cost for doing this would be close to zero.

Hackers are, yes. But the price you fetch for a card will go down massively if you need high technical skills to run it.
