"They" being Nvidia here. AMDs amdgpu driver clearly shows the problem is neither Linux nor Wayland or Sway.

Please elaborate more. I'm writing this from my Dell XPS 9575 with Vega M GL under Fedora 30 and I haven't encountered a single problem in GPU-accelerated applications and games with official open source drivers.

To add to this, the AMD OpenGL windows drivers are notoriously bad, whereas the Linux OpenGL drivers perform closer to DirectX. Performance on that end is significantly ahead.

I mean all parties that implement the standard protocol. It's rather nVidia that's not interested in giving their users a chance to use properly Wayland not Sway developers "excluding users" by not doing free work for nVidia.
nVidia shares the driver with Windows, AMD/Intel don't. So AMD/Intel always give you a driver that's significantly trailing the Windows versions on features and stability (you can read a lot about this on Dolphin blog for example) while adding more maintenance costs.

What do you mean "all parties"? They're excluding at least one party - nVidia users.
