I read it fine, it removes/isolates a lot of useful features, and doesn't seem better in many real world use cases it is worst, like clipboard, screen warmers like redshift, global hotkeys, and VNC.
I have tried these as addons, and they basically suck, and its complex to change them, and for what benefit? Some smoother graphics? I am on Linux, that is the least important thing. Basically if it doesn't give me real world benefits, I am unlikely to want to switch, and if it gives me more issues and less features for things that matter and isn't a drop in replacement it might as well be a scooter to my car.

This really sums up this side of the argument for me (though it doesn't address the security features of Wayland). If I want to watch an ultra high definition movie, or play a game, rebooting to windows is a miniscule price. Almost all of my work is done on Linux, and I value it because everything can be made to work, usually with little effort. Wayland adds some severe overhead to that work.
https://old.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/n3mjj3/native_vs_vm_b... you can also do this. If you want to use wayland without issues GNOME works well if you wanna login to another session, VFIO will give you full windows game support (Win VM will use the GPU in windows driver mode).
For anyone who wants a functional desktop on any DE, x.org is the best, and cannot be replaced currently by wayland in features or software compatibility.
