It merits re-empathising that it's Nvidia that does not support sway - not the other way around.

That's fair, but if your stance is that users should be educated to vote with their wallets, then I wonder if you've considered adding a disclaimer on the site saying "Nvidia users don't waste your time, here's why"?

The makers of the world's best and most popular graphics cards will never compromise their goals to accommodate an i3 clone. I think it's fair that the smaller entity support the larger one.

Our policy bubbles down to wlroots, which is the basis of a huge variety of Wayland compositors.

However, we only need to support Nvidia if our goals include "adoption by Nvidia users". But they don't, so we aren't going to.

This isn't an i3 vs. nvidia situation, this is linux kms/drm progress vs. nvidia.

nvidia is simply being uncooperative.

Those kind of corporate bullying tactics are not particularly welcome in open-source communities.
