I'm sorry, are you saying that drivers now match specific DEs? That's a sufficiently hideous layering violation to make me automatically dislike Wayland, iff true.
That specific problem is related to NVidias refusal to support the open API components that every other player is standardizing around.
The reason it's becoming possible to run Wayland compositors on NVidia hardware just now is because the Gnome (and now KDE) teams have just given up and started implementing the NVidia-specific pieces. It's not really a Wayland problem, it's an NVidia problem.
You can run any Wayland compositor on AMD hardware without this issue.
