Why Wayland adoption to have official support in programs is so slow?

wayland.freedesktop.org /

Wayland seems ready to me but the main problem that many programs are not configured / compiled to support it. Why is that? I know it's not easy as "Wayland support? Yes" (but in many cases adding a flag is enough but maybe it's not a perfect support). What am I missing? Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.

When Wayland is detected, it is the preferred system, otherwise X11 will be used

Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.

  • I heard wayland is hard to develop for and xwayland work a little too well, idk I'm not a programmer

    • I think X11 works out of the box but Wayland needs more knowledge and effort for now.
