They need to redirect their anger at the correct culprit -- Nvidia. The non-technical breakage is a result of Nvidia continuing to try to sneak around restrictions that they should have been abiding by. Nvidia could have spent the resources to get their drivers to compliance, but instead they chose to use them to try to circumvent the restrictions.
