I didn't say most. I said many. As for why and whether it's a good thing, that really isn't up to anyone but the people working on said distros. I'm not gonna argue with you over it, because I don't really care either way. But it looks like things are moving in that direction, and I wouldn't be surprised if SteamOS defaults to running things under Wayland in the future.
It's not like it's particularly hard to tell KDE not to log in to a Wayland session, so I don't see the harm in it if they do.
Huh? You didn't answer what you even meant. Are you suggesting distros will ship Wayland as the sole display protocol out of the box, or are you saying there are distros that are or are planning to drop their X server packages entirely?
And of course it's not up to the developers only, we can discuss, scrutinize and if need be criticise it. This isn't windows.
Your entire comment makes very little sense to me.
No, I’m saying that some distros run things under Wayland by default. The distro I use, Bazzite, does this. You can still use Xorg if you want, but the default session is Wayland. It isn’t the sole display protocol, because you can also select X11 when you log in, if you run into some compatibility problem.
