For clarification, remove the drivers as in make the G2 not need them?
Also do you happen to have a link? It's not that I don't believe you, I have a G2 and would like to read the details myself, I was looking into details about this after the announcement but didn't find much.
Basically, I'm hoping that the G2 can become a full SteamVR device. It's a good headset but openXR and more specifically WMR have just absolutely butchered it's reliability. When I first got it I used it at a MixedVR setup with the index Knuckles - works great for the SteamVR runtime. OpenXR doesn't like SteamVR devices, so the knuckles can't be used. No big, stay in SteamVR.
Then WMR pushed the OpenXR runtime as standard - no big deal really and overall a good thing (sans XKCD standards) and since then it's been a pain. Only for Microsoft to kill it 2 years later lol.
I switched back to my index for the downstairs VR space, but it would be nice to be able to use the G2 for a full lifespan.
