Very true.

Part of the reason is probably that you need the proprietary drivers to use CUDA efficiently and as they are not in the (upstream) kernel you have to use some other tools, like unofficial repositories or the native installer (which doesn't always play well with the OS package manager, system upgrades, etc.). It's a real PITA.
