I switched to Fedora after aging out some old Mac hardware only Ubuntu seemed to support. My primary motivator was the appearance of Amazon on my Unity desktop and Canonical's increasing desire to go it's own way with technologies like Mir.

I've been very happy with Fedora and Gnome 3 since the latter hit 3.12 or so. There are still some edge cases like the ability to snap windows to corners that I really think should be addressed but otherwise I'm a happy camper.

You are so naive if you think redhat(or samsung) does not control wayland. Both player redhat/samusng/intel/etc and canonical wants only what in their interest ! Sadly in linux community redhat is more vocal than any other player (because of their money and their long history in linux), and people think whatever redhat supports it is best and free and better and all these ridiculous arguments. Which is not , comparing in only license shows me Mir is GPLv3 (which is best for software freedom) vs MIT License which is just another mediocre opensource license.

People get manipulated very easily . If you want privacy you should not use any ubuntu/fedora like distro , use something like tail or fsf approved distro. But if you don't care about privacy and stil you criticizing canonical for mir you are just another guy manipulated in linux community about redhat being cool and canonical being evil.
