That's the wrong conclusion. Maybe it strikes you hard, I understand
that, but don't forget that all work in debian is done for free, every
one do what he think is necessary.
Also note please that nor the nv driver or the nouveau driver are
developed by debian, they are part of Xorg/Xf86, so also your conclusion
over the egos of the debian "workers" is wrong.
Again, if you wish to see this package back in debian, offer your work
for free and just do it. or, try to find someone how do it for you.
Or select a distribution, witch offer this package to you.
A un-maintained package can't be a part of the distribution. It makes no
mater if it is the only working solution (for you), or not.

Simply put it this way: Something that doesn't get maintained (probably
because the egos of the developers aren't stroked so much doing
maintenance than developing something new) STILL SHOULDN'T BE REMOVED
WHEN IT'S THE ONLY OPTION THAT WORKS.
Bah.
For what reason the nv driver is dropped right
now?

The answer is simpler the you suspect:
