Nvidia doesn't need to offer full linux support, only the bare minimum to make the lives of those making their job a bit easier.
Also, let's not kid ourselves, Nvidia has a lot to gain in the datacenter/AI business with proper linux support.
Let's also bear in mind that Linus Torvalds said this: "they are the exception, not the rule". If that doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what does.

They have nothing to gain from supporting Wayland besides appeasing a bruised-and-battered bunch of people that don't really care anyways. Nvidia seems to be admitting as much by open-sourcing their drivers and letting us play with their Legos, since we're so smart.
- spookie 4y agoWell, the open sourcing part was due to them being hacked.
