Personally I think the problem stems from ThrustMaster and Windows. If the MFDs had a decent software, and showed up as extra keyboards rather than as Windows game controllers - or could be combined a la CH gear - then the ability to run MFDs and a throttle, stick and pedals setup wouldn't be compromised.
After all - Naturalpoint manages to avoid this restriction although, strictly speaking, TrackIR is a game controller in that it takes over from the coolie-hat.
