All that ranting aside, I don't have a good answer for the VZW/W10M issue. I'm hopeful MS and T-Mobile will kiss and make up, but that doesn't do much for you Garak.
The fact that there is some blame going around with the new Lumia Phones with Microsoft and Verizon tells me that there may be hope that Verizon users may soon one day be able to use an unlocked 950xl. No one on either side as truly come out and said this will NEVER work. Right now, all we know is it WON'T work.
But now that I've been spoiled a little on the Note 5 with some apps I do truly use and the stylus, it will be a hard sell to get a 950xl even if I could.

It's my understanding that the 950XL will have the needed radios (at least the ones you can buy directly from Microsoft) but it's Verizon who is refusing to activate them.
It's also my understanding that that is now illegal. You should contact the insert correct government agency here and complain that Verizon is breaking the law. With enough complaints hopefully the government will step in and solve the problem.
As Paul Thurrott said on WW last week - All I want from my carrier is a connection, a pipe to the internet and phone calls.

That really makes sense...I mean, if these phones didn't have the required CDMA, Microsoft or Verizon would and should just come out and say so...
