Wayland is a more modern, very incompatible replacement for X11, the venerable display server used by Linux systems. It uses a different communication protocol. Little by little, Wayland is becoming adopted by various distros, not always without problems. Virtualbox, for example, has problems with guest VMs that use Wayland. To confuse matter more, I've seen libraries whose name sounds like they convert X11 commands to Wayland commands, presumably so that non-Wayland software can run using Wayland to actually create the display.
Since Ubuntu 22.04 (I don't have 24.04 yet) uses X11, I would have thought that Qt wouldn't need any Wayland libraries for it. But maybe Qt thinks it shouldn't load without it, who knows?
