In any case the result would just be that nvidia owners won't be able to run Linux. And the real question is, why do you want that - or even to make it more difficult than necessary for those users?

A very strange argument. Applied to movies you'd argue we should all be
able to pirate them as charging makes it difficult for the users ?

There's no piracy involved here as nvidia gives the drivers away and permits redistribution. It is the Linux side that makes their product difficult or impossible to use, with the obvious effect that the majority of users keep running Microsoft products and the rest of us have to put up with the resulting virus-laden machines.
