Some cognitive dissonance going on here. The vast majority of current Linux Desktop users are on Wayland, and X11 is phased out across the board. Calling it hype is absurd.

The cognitive dissonance I perceive goes like "No one is being paid to work on X11, therefore I should volunteer to work on Wayland."
So I guess Windows is actually the future then by your argument because that's used by even more users.
It's wild this is what you took from that, but no. My issue was with the word 'Hype'. Would you call windows Hype because it's bigger?
Sure, but do you have any facts to backup that assertion?
