The worst case scenario is that Nvidia and AMD get pressured into improving the proprietary drivers and firmware rather than supplying free ones. So the worst case, in terms of freedom, is no change.
Intentionally crippling is bad, but these drivers are proprietary anyway, so
they shouldn't be used in the first place. At the same time, if people get
angry that they are being intentionally crippled, that could get "open
source" proponents to work harder towards getting fully free drivers and
firmware.
