How so? Can you just not write graphics drivers for macOS?

It's more nuanced than that. Nvidia can write the drivers but releasing them without the blessing of Apple blows away any chance of them getting that sweet GPU contract back.
Nvidia doesn't have much of a real world application outside of GPUs in enclosures to keep the drivers alive. The reason to keep drivers ready is the potential for a very large contract from Apple.

yep.
Though it's relatively simple to start working on apple hardware then train on something like Lambda Labs hardware.

#9I found this out the hard way a month ago when I updated my hackintosh from 10.13 to 10.14.
Never assume, even several weeks after a macOS release, that working Nvidia drivers will be available!
