I get the sense that most adopted wlroots because Wayland is a complex protocol. There's no alternative to wlroots so part of the reason everybody uses it is because there's no choice if you don't want to start from nothing.

Wayland is a simple protocol. The complicated part is everything else, like graphics and input and X11 compatibility.
Right, but that still means that getting to a point most end-users would consider 'usable' is quite complex. Especially because the documentation around these things can be lacking.

P.S. I like Wayland and use it everywhere for the record.
