Raspberry Pi OS • Nvidia drivers on Raspbian. Why?

I don't know when and how Nvidia drivers got through into my Pi4B running Bullseye 64bit.
But an nvidia 390xx driver was crashing libs dependancies and when I found it out,
I did an
apt purge nvida-*

and only then I could move on and restore the libs I was working on (Qjackctl) that were refusing to work...
My question is why? How did nvidia drivers ever made it to the Pi via Raspbian...

I installed only some Kxstudio libs, Cadence, Audacious, Qjackctl...
My Bullseye lite only came with Vlc pre-installed... as far as video goes...

So how did those got in??? Who thought this was a good idea???
Is it Wayland pushing these drivers???
What gains do Raspberry users do get from these nvidia drivers if not just errors???

I'm a bit baffled, I would like to prevent my Raspberry to ever install any nvidia stuff ever again...
Why? Why nvidia?

Linux and nvidia in the same sentence? No good!
