I don't think I ever heard them say they were trying to compete with nvidia or ati, so I think you are missing the point. I think the card is meant for research, and wouldn't an eventual open source graphics card be great?! Proprietary cards have been so closed in the past, do you want to see that continue? Sure things are getting better and companies are being more helpful, but computer architecture is experiencing a revolution of sorts by eventually going to thousands of cores and do you want to see linux support continue to fall behind windows?
