Technically nVidia chose that fight, not Linux users. nVidia is chocked full of proprietary implementations meant to bog down competition, for example all CUDA technology including translation layers are technically illegal to even look at without nVidia proprietary drivers. All alternatives are free open source, afaik.
Nobody cares whose fault it is. At the end of the day it's a Linux issue to fix.
Edit: And they hated him for speaking the unfortunate truth.
Not a linux's issue, though. When they don't have documentation, they can decide not to write a driver, and not to use proprietary drivers too.
But nvidia doesn't care about linux, doesn't target linux. And current "linux communities" can't do anything but whine.
