Yeah, NVIDIA is notoriously not supporting Linux for some reason. Yes, there is a Linux driver, but it’s far behind the Windows driver in terms of features, plus it doesn’t support a lot of newer interfaces related to Linux. Nuoveau is a good alternative (and is present in Ubuntu 18.04), but still with a lot of missing features.
About Wayland; i guess Ubuntu doesn’t support it by default because their mouth is still a bit sour that MIR (a very similar protocol, developed by Canonical) “lost” against Wayland. Let’s see if they can get pass that, as Wayland is a good way to proceed (although it has its own shortcomings). Also note that 18.04 is exactly two years old now. Wayland grew a lot in the past 2 years, so it may become default (or at least well supported) in the upcoming LTS.
