Was your original installation the default Workstation or KDE Spin?
It was the default workstation (GNOME?).
This would have been early spring 2013.
Other workstations were added later, though I rarely use them.
I'm not sure Wayland would have been part of the default install in
2013, and if all your subsequent installs have been updates than that
could explain why you don't have it.
It almost certainly was not. Patching ("dnf --refresh upgrade" or
some earlier dnf/yum equivalent) indeed almost certainly would not
install wayland. But it should have been a part of a semi-annual
upgrade ("dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=nn" +
"dnf system-upgrade reboot", or some earlier dnf/yum equivalent). I
have done the semi-annual upgrade every spring and fall since the
initial install in 2013. So I should have it, and it should be
functioning.

Your propagation from your 2013 install carried what was Fedora at that
time. Since it was xorg, xorg you have. You would have had to install
the packages for wayland to get them. There seems to be an assumption
that everyone is doing a scratch install.
In a previous post to this thread, I listed the wayland-related packages
that I have. No one gave any hint that I'm missing anything. I'd like
to see authoritative confirmation and/or correction of what you seem to
be saying about new things added to Fedora and whether manual install is
required to get them.
Our conversational jargon and dnf jargon seem to have been mixed up a
few times in this thread: patch vs. update vs. upgrade. I wish we had a
good solution.
