> So here's the thing: X works extremely well for what it is, but what it is is deeply flawed. There's no shame in that, it's 33 years old and still relevant, I wish more software worked so well on that kind of timeframe. But using it to drive your display hardware and multiplex your input devices is choosing to make your life worse

This implies it's a choice made in isolation, rather than with the matrix of WM features and hardware support driving.

People aren't "choosing" Wayland or X in large numbers. They're making decisions like "I'm using distro A which ships Wayland by default" or "I want a tiling WM and have nvidia hardware, so I have to use X".
