Valve wanted to take full advantage of DX9 and Ati is the only one that has full implementation of DX9. Nvidia is pretty damn close (I heard NV has 80% of the DX9 stuff) so its not saying it wont run as good. Just stating that to get the best maximum experience from HL2, a Radeon card will do it. Valve isnt going to shut out Nvidia, its just that they will have to not have a few graphical things here and there, but other hten that, your card should be able to at least play it on the lowest settings.
