Since 99% of users are on Linux anyway, that can't be the largest issue.

What a typical Linux user mindset! That IS one of the largest issues for non-Linux users. Linux is by large margin a niche OS in desktop market share. So it is no issue if all programs are developed only for Windows and/or Macintosh. Right?


...what would wayland on windows even do ? Windows already does what wayland does, it would be entirely unnecesary layer


And windows / mac are now minor players compared to android / IOS, and everything is a minor players vs web pages.


I admit that appealing to capitalism isn't likely to advance the Unix desktop but the "we're all in this together" excessive portability attitude didn't produce good software either.
