There is a strong desire to see if there is secret sauce in the driver that makes their cards so darn performant. Could it be applied to other video drivers?
To audit for vulnerabilities and fix them.
To allow the driver to use some kernel internals that the kernel developers keep trying to wall proprietary drivers off from.

Community might be able to hack it to work better with Wayland, since the Wayland team has no interest in extending any kind of support to proprietary driver driving GPU's... despite x11 working just fine forever. ... see Ideology.
Calling Wayland X12 is an insult to both. Wayland folks hate X11, some X11 hold-outs dislike Wayland. When in truth none of these things is like the other.
Dual monitor? Wayland on my intel works fine for single screen, but as soon as I plug in a 4k monitor, it gets black cube shadow like artifacts in KDE Plasma 5. A couple of kernel command line options for the module has not helped, either.
Waypipe is not Wayland. Wayland does not natively support this workflow, which is why Waypipe was created. Please don't confuse the two as being one thing.
You can't be sold on Linux. Anyone 'sold on' or 'lead to' Linux isn't going to stick with it. The desire to learn to use and be productive with Linux is purely an internal one. Selling you on it would be like trying to push you into a religion. For this, you need to sell yourself on Linux. Install it, run it, make it your daily system for a few weeks or months... then you can decide if it is for you. The questions you'll need to find answers to are, but not limited to:
Will it run the software I need? You mention PDF's... Viewing non-encrypted PDF's is no problem. For encrypted PDF forms that I've seen from some government sites, I needed Windows or Mac to fill them out reliably. I was able to do some within Wine, but that wasn't stable enough to depend on.
Be aware there are desktop choices. Linux comes in many flavours, some can present and work similar to a Windows desktop workflow, some more similar to Mac (but not quite), and some are just either heritage UNIX styles or just Linux unique. Finding what you prefer can take some trial and effort.
I suggest Linux distributions that offer disk encryption (and be sure to use it). If you were my lawyer, I wouldn't want the documents we share to be left around un-encrypted anywhere.
Check out some Linux periodicals, as well. They can help wet your whistle with reviews on various Linux distributions and often some introductory articles on software and How-To's. If that kind of thing interests you, you've already half sold yourself on Linux.
Cant follow the money to see who owns him if there are no accounts. For any adult with a roof over their head, to not have at least one bank account is very odd, and for a politician, very sus.
I'm pretty sure any distro setting up Wayland will be including Waypipe for you so your experience should be transparent.
