For a moment I think this was a Linux community talking about X.Org.
X is dead.
Long Life X
Wayland is still horrible on nVidia cards
So, not as dead as you think. Also many apps still run through xwayland
I blame that 100% on Nvidia. Buying an Nvidia card these days for Linux makes about as much sense as buying an iPhone to run Android. Linus summed it up well https://youtu.be/iYWzMvlj2RQ
The number of applications that run through xwayland is shrinking every day.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
On RedHat-provided Life Support, yes, but dead, not yet. Only when Redhat ends support for RHEL 9, and thus, for X.Org.
X is still the only choice for certain roles. Wayland is missing absolute window positioning (required for certain multi-window apps), color management, and drawing tablet support is spotty. Some apps will never be ported to Wayland.
X is bloated, old, obsolete, impossible to maintain, and immortal.
