Unfortunately, Wayland still lacks some things that Xorg offers, so switching would be a step backward for some people. Snarkily dismissing them as conspiracy theorists is wrong in several ways.

I think the intersection between those who have valid reasons to use X11, e.g. missing features of Wayland, and those wo think Wayland is a 'big tech conspiracy' is small.
