Why I need extra kernel modules to be able to run Wayland on nvidia?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It seems you are talking about nouveau and very wrong. Nouveau is part of Mesa, which supports DRI/Mesa GBM by design. You can guess why.
Worked perfectly while I had nvidia gpu. Maybe even more stable than on X11, but memory is kinda fuzzy. It was few years ago.
Isn't it their GPL shim?
Nouveau says around Maxwell
I had Kepler.
Nvidia nuked power managment mid-Maxwell. Gladly, at least one vulnreability has been discovered, that theoretically allows nouveau load their power manager.
