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.

well, to an extent that xorg only exists in outdated distros that no longer get updates is what I meant - but in essence, yes.
No Xorg also ships with up to date distros like Debian, arch, Ubuntu, etc but several of them have switched to using Wayland by default. It is deprecated because it is no longer actively developed and only maintained by a small group of devs and even that because these devs work for companies like Red Hat, Oracle, etc who have a vested interest in fixing those bugs
