MikaIt's hard to sell #Wayland to people, because while people often rave about how broken and awful #X11/#Xorg is, to most people, it's not as bad as people are saying. Even for me, with #NVIDIA hardware, I didn't really encounter any issues that were particularly notable (goes without saying that I'm definitely not speaking for everybody, though I've seen similar sentiments from others that implies I'm not alone in this).
So, again, it's harder to sell Wayland because the switch is pretty expensive for developers (to update/port over their app to reach feature-parity with how they worked on X), and for end-users - the benefit you'll be getting isn't always clear, while the shortcomings that Wayland's had and currently has at the moment is a lot more obvious (i.e. most remote desktop software don't work and those that do are in Beta or don't work well at all, windows couldn't remember their last position/size, some weird quirks such as clipboard issues and many more due to the majority of non-compliant apps that need to run in Xwayland, etc.).
THAT BEING SAID I think distros/DEs making Wayland the default is the right move, esp now when IT IS USABLE even with NVIDIA hardware thanks to the latest drivers and updates/hard work done by folks like #KDE (for me, since I use Plasma). Plasma 6's release was god awful for me since Wayland was definitely broken on my GPU at the time, but not anymore - I'm quite mindblown that I've been able to daily drive Wayland now completely after a really long period of testing Wayland -> back off ASAP -> repeat.
