> So why don't people just stop caring what gnome thinks?

Because Gnome is RedHat and ...

1) Because RedHat is one of the few companies that puts sustained, long-term funding beind developers working on Linux. As such, they get an outsized say in what goes on because they are doing the work. If you would rather that Linux go a different direction, fund a bunch of programmers and take it that way.

2) RedHat put in the work, time, and money to get certified in ways that allows it to be used for big business. That means adhering to things like accessibility, auditing, etc. If you get the same certifications, big business accounts can use your stuff instead.

If you want people to ignore Gnome, all you have to do is fund a bunch of Linux developers to do all the work they are doing. Easy peasy.

Well to me it sounds like a lot of other people also put in time and effort into making Wayland better, only to be consistently blocked by gnome/redhat at every turn.

It's not the first time I see people air their grievances like that so I gotta wonder why people keep working with them. Let red hat pay the developers to take Linux in whatever direction it wants. Other developers can go in some other direction that they agree with. The beauty of Linux is the kernel enables such a diverse user space. That's what I personally care about.
