nope, it's supposed to "Return the recommended driver version", see https://github.com/tseliot/ubuntu-drivers-common/blob/138c91aae486f2449d374273ae3790800132f09f/NvidiaDetector/nvidiadetector.py#L40-L48

On my system (XUbuntu 20.04 with Geforce 970) it's what it does, it prints "nvidia-driver-470"
I think if it prints "None" that means that it couldn't find any nvidia GPU (or maybe at least none it knows a driver for?) on the system
