I highly doubt Federer or Novak would be complaining about this clay formula so long as it was fair (like the one used by Wimbledon is). I would certainly be just fine with it as Thiem and Nadal have been the best clay players the last 2 years.
Had Nadal given 1 measly grass event the time of day besides Wimbledon in the last two years, he'd be seeded number 2 for sure. In fact, he hasn't played a single grass event besides Wimbledon since 2015. It's on him and he has no right to complain if he's not going to show up and play.
