You're joking, but this is literally the line of logic that GNOME's maintainers have used for the past ~5 years.

> "Xorg is outdated and should be removed, everyone port everything over to Wayland!"

> "AppIndicator is outdated and should be removed, if anyone uses it (see: everyone), they can impliment it themselves!"

> "Native packaging is outdated and should be removed, Flatpak is the future now!"

> "Having a proper library of native widgets is outdated and should be removed, so we're replacing it with Libadwaita!"

...and so on and so forth...

i find most (if not all) technical decisions of the gnome team sensible.

but that fucking design and UI paradigm? WTF! the whole thing is so jekyll and hyde it beggars belief.
