Well, Wayland support was a sore point for Nvidia for a very long time. And it's the prime example of why they don't see Linux as their normal support target. Otherwise they would have worked with upstream a long time ago, instead of just trying to start now.

Wayland wasn't in scope of "use cases actually paying for Linux support" (whether directly or transitively) and I wouldn't be surprised if majority of targeted supported applications don't support running under Wayland. The professional market is only now starting to do its toes into dealing with Wayland and that's mostly because RHEL9 defaults to it.

Also, it's not like Wayland offered a concrete target to support, different approaches of how to actually provide device context to applications were from beginning a "now draw the rest of the owl" thing.

That's the point. They don't care about Linux users and proper working with upstream despite having pools of money. So I'd avoid them on principle as a Linux user.
