Right now the amount of money they would lose on Tesla sales if they allow Geforces to have full DP capability is far more than the amount of money they would make from people who care about Milkyway@home.
Yes but DP has a lot of advantages over SP for calculations in projects like medical research, math and physics. Its sad that nvidia went this way, we bought 4*5850 setup specially to contribute something.

This move by Nvidia has created a void for DP performance due to which developers will prefer to release SP app's rather than more robust and better DP app's The number of people who contribute for the cause is ever growing and i am sure that the united processing power of these people can trump all the combined power of every tesla ever released.

In small words: If Nvidia included full DP performance it would be better for humanity...
