The problem here isn't the interaction with the nvidia devs. Like you said, flatly refusing to work with their binary drivers is WAI. The problem here is the interaction with wayland's users and potential users. It is perfectly possible to post exactly what you said here, along with other useful information about why and how people should expect their nvidia cards to fail to behave, instead of saying things like "users are idiots and will blame us no matter what we do". Communicating with users better will not only reduce anger at Wayland, accelerate its adoption, and improve its quality, it'll direct at least some of that anger at nvidia thereby directly enhancing the no-cooperation strategy you describe here.
