Or use X11, which is what people will actually end up doing.

At the end of the day, X, GNOME and KDE have all figured out how to work with NVIDIA binary drivers, but wlroots has not.

NVIDIA writes and maintains their own Xorg graphics driver on top of their kernel driver. NVIDIA is apparently not interested in providing the same courtesy to wlroots.

(I don't know how much NVIDIA has contributed to GNOME and KDE's Wayland compositors)
