The distro is at fault for not packaging it.
the pipewire devs are the ones who had the option to
decide
which distros it may be compatible with - obviously, ubuntu18
was not one that "mattered" to them - but no project is obligated
to support any specific distro, so there is no fault there either
Is there anything that prevents you from compiling and building pipewire on 18.04?
If not, then it is a distro problem. They have not packaged pipewire for 18.04, and they
probably won't package it since 18.04 is a stable release so major new changes
won't be made. It would be possible to add it in as a backport, that could optionally
be added.
