Typically appimage packaging excludes the .so files that are expected to be provided by the base distro.

Any .so from nvidia is supposed to be one of those things. Because it also depends on the drivers etc.. provided by nvidia.

Also on a side note, a lot of .so files also depends on other files in /usr/share , /etc etc...

I recommend using an AppImage only for the happy path application frameworks they support (eg. Qt, Electron etc...). Otherwise you'd have to manually verify all the libraries you're bundling will work on your user's distros.
