"but I can tell you that the nouveau driver wasn't installed for my Nvidia card by default"

Well, duh. That would be a total disaster if it did. It's a pre-alpha almost-kinda-maybe-working driver at this point. The vast majority of regular users have no need nor desire to subject themselves to that, and thus there's no compelling reason to install it by default. The technophiles who'd want to play with it can easily install it from the repos.
