Nouveau works great with Sway. Users make a choice to use proprietary drivers, they aren't forced into it. They can buy more freedom-respecting hardware, too. It's a choice to reward Nvidia's behavior, and consequently that choice alienates them from our userbase.

Some high-end CG applications do not work acceptably under nouveau. If I must use those applications for my job, and thus must use the proprietary Nvidia driver, then I will. It is NOT my choice at that point, I am effectively forced into it. I wish Nvidia were nicer, but I also have to do my job. And no, using a non-Nvidia video card isn't an acceptable solution either, in some cases.
