This is correct behaviour because Wayland is not yet stable in the
presence of an Nvidia proprietary driver. We hope to fix that by Ubuntu
24.10.
The original intention was to enable Wayland for hybrid systems:
gdm3 (42.0-1ubuntu7) jammy; urgency=medium

* Default to Wayland for hybrid systems with Nvidia graphics drivers.
Default to Xorg but offer Wayland with the gear button on the login
screen for non-hybrid systems with Nvidia graphics drivers. (LP: #1968929)

but even that turned out to be unreliable. And added to that there was
an uninitialized variable in gdm3(?) we fixed a year or two ago which
was also causing the session selection to not follow the udev rules.
So it's all very complicated. Overall we would prefer Nvidia systems DID
NOT show a Wayland login option yet, but since you've figured out how to
enable it, please be aware of the bug list:
