There also isn't nearly as much choice for wms. My favorite WM is cwm, but the closest alternative on Wayland is Hikari which is abandoned.

I noticed it's far far more work to build a wm for Wayland than it is for Xorg.

Every single one of them has to fix the same set of bugs in different ways even if they share a wm library like wlroots. So unless you manage to get a critical mass on your wm, there is no way you can maintain it on your own. If I believed in conspiracy theories, I would have said that Redhat designed it to make sure they can control the ecosystem, but I think it's just over designed in all the wrong ways.
