This argument is actually backwards: one of the goals of the wayland project is to draw development away from X. If wayland didn't exist, people would have worked on X11 a lot more.

It's not an argument in the first place: it's describing the current situation. Wayland does exist, and did draw development away from X.
Not quite. Wayland was created in part to draw developers away from X. Seeking buy-in from Xorg developers specifically was a big part of it.
This seems to be implying that the creation of Wayland had some motivation that was essentially malicious toward X. Is that right?
