Well, have come you forget Radeon free driver, who supports impressive number of cards which work without a glitch with GNOME Shell, Unity and similar software :)

In fact, most of the machines than can run has
a) Either Intel graphics - works perfectly
b) ATI/AMD Radeon - most of them are supported by 'radeon' Xorg driver, newest ones require closed source drivers
c) Nvidia cards
d) and finally, all of these machines *can* run GNOME desktop trough software rendering using LLVM, altough is not as snappy as it can be, it's really works.

So Richard, things *are* improving :) We are at much less mercy of closed drivers than before.

Respectfully,
Peter.

    Actually a non-negligible number of desktops as I understand running
    gnome based desktops just don't have the graphics hardware
    needed to run the shell

Even worse, most of the machines that CAN run it
need nonfree software to run it -- which means that we
should urge people not to buy them.

The only graphics accelerators I know of that don't require nonfree
software are some Intel ones, and the nVidia devices which Nouveau
supports.
