Recent versions of gnome session are compiled only with wayland support in archlinux. To change DE or distribution or use custom package is quite a stretch to call it's not forced.

But then it's not Wayland's fault: Gnome decided to move to it and stop supporting X.

I don't like systemd and the fact that mainstream distros push for it, but as a result I use a distro that gives me the choice (Gentoo). Who am I to tell the distro maintainer what they should do for free?

Just because it’s free doesn’t mean you shouldn’t call them out on their stupidity.
