This is just par for the course on closed down hardware. The manufacturer decides how you use it, that's how it has always been. I'm actually happy about this news, I hope it raises awareness for the need of open hardware, it's not like I'd ever buy one of these cards when competitors at least have open source drivers. Lack of hardware freedom generating electronic waste isn't unheard of either.
