This is just Nvidia being stubborn pain in the ass to deal with. Yes eglstreams and nvidia modesetting and their binary driver blob in general on Linux is basically Nvidia wants todo their own thing with no cooperation with any other developers. 2006 is kind of a key year when everyone on the Unix/Linux platforms started serous-ally thinking about kernel mode setting. Thinking and having agreement are two different things.
