Maybe you didn't read my comment? Based on having used it for over 20 years.
That’s something about its stability. It says nothing about its fundamentally bad abstraction of modern graphics stacks, that can’t be fixed.
Users don't care about the underlying abstraction. The points raised before at least covered features that users cared about, even if they where presented without context, vsync worked fine on any NVIDIA desktop system I used, especially without compositor.
Users do care when the bad abstractions cause bugs that linger and don't get fixed, of which there are quite a lot...
