The problem is you have software developers who think the solution is

Sometimes the better way is not to start again from scratch and throw
everything out.

You already said that.

There are plenty of examples of change which is managed well.

But you don’t count the X11-to-Wayland transition as one of those? How
would you have handled it?

I didn't leave Fedora because Wayland exists, I left Fedora because
I think they were approaching removing X11 too early.

X11 has been languishing in “legacy mode” for years.
