MODERATORS
“Unlike X” doesn't support your argument. If X11 is barely mantained, is on purpose. X11 and Wayland are not in competition, one is the rewrite of the former. They literally have no rush to push Wayland to main stage until it can do all that X11 does, including the annoying edge use cases. Because if X11 does it and Wayland doesn't, then people would just continue to use X11. No brainer. They need more time, that's fine, we can all do with being a bit more nicer and gentler. There's no rush to push adoption
There is a rush because Red Hat isn't interested in maintaining wayland anymore. Neither red hat nor Kde/gnome are interested in supporting x org in the long run. For wayland to get better and do the things it currently lacks at it needs a greater user base and that's why there is a rush by major people in the linux community (kde and fedora for example). Right now its at that there are somethings that wayland can't do that x org can and somethings that x org can do but wayland can't. Since wayland is being developed actively and is the future it's the obvious choice and x org has far more annoying use cases that are just not gonna get fixed "unlike wayland". Majority of the users shouldn't have any problems switching to wayland.
