They're one of the biggest bands in the world right now even though they've gone the unconventional route every step of the way. They abandoned music videos, fought Ticketmaster, offered up copies of all their live shows, and will release their next album without a label in the US.

Abandoned music videos: NIN did that like 5 years ago
Fought Ticketmaster: NIN did that like 5 years ago
Released album without a label: NIN did that like 2 years ago
Offered copies of live shows: NIN did that last year and they released 450GB of unedited HIGH DEFINITION footage
Released album on internet: NIN did that like 2 years ago and in better quality and format than Radiohead or anyone else that was a "pioneer"
Good try though. Say what you want about PJ being more popular, I don't listen to NIN because they are popular but because I like their music. But don't for a second pretend that any of that stuff you listed NIN hasn't already done and moved on. TR is way ahead of everything you listed, whether you like NIN or not TR is a pioneer in the music business.
