You are wondering why other people didn't invest more of their time working for free for the abstract goal of moving someone else's vision forward.

If they wanted buy in the logical thing would be to provide a something usable and feature complete with wlroots like library inside of the first 5 years rather than producing something nobody would use, claiming it is usable, and then slowly evolving it towards usability slower than duke nukem forever while continually claiming it's ready to rock until the lie slowly becomes increasingly true.

I am not wondering that. There could have been corporate sponsors or community fund raisers to fund this essential work.

>If they wanted buy in the logical thing...

I already know that this was poorly handled. If Microsoft or Apple wanted to change rearchitect display servers I can assure you it would not take over 16 years.
