It's a moot point in any case, since Apple never promised graphics acceleration (of any sort) on these older supported systems (nor was it ever planned). It got added as a compromise (on Apple's behalf) as a way of showing that they were willing to listen to user requests. Read the original release for 10.0, it says only that the OS will run on any computer that was sold with a G3 or G4.

At the same time, they never said that features that were available before would suddenly NEVER be supported again. Graphics chipset support has come to be a very core part of basic OS functionality, and Apple realized this when they decided to do the drivers themselves. Thus the responsibility for core OS functionality lies on them, not us.
