We will still be feature complete as in this case ; NVIDIA will continue to
develop new drivers to fix reported problems. They react quickly to
software defects. I'm not using Nvidia as a gamer but a software developer
for CUDA/OpenACC for HPC. I rather develop on Linux.

like the free software driver and I am happy with it on my office system
but for games etc. the proprietary driver delivers better 3D performance.

The idea is to use free software but in this case it required the non-free
driver to support development using the GPU card.
