There may be other, more technical reasons for it, but I'm unaware of them. Also, as someone else mentioned, Wayland can do both.

Mir is basically the same as Wayland, which Mir developers admitted themselves.
The only difference is the shell implementation, and the fact that Canonical has full control over the project.
They can simply support both too you know. There is not going to be a driver war.

buffer sharing mechanism that would work, but I'm not sure they want to put in the
effort of distributing yet more packages than they already do.

Then all widget toolkits will re-use and share the same code for decorations.
Then all applications will have the same decorations, instead of GTK+ and Qt and others have application windows with different looking decorators.
We need a common unified well-integrated look-and-feel.
With that prerequisite in mind, they think that it is a smart idea put all that manpower on the same project and so you can achieve an impressive development speed.
Wrong.
You can force a developer to work on what you want only if you paid him for it, otherwise he will spend his free time in what he want and if the "big project" going to a direction that he don't like, he will stop to work on it or will fork it.
So thinking about a hundreds of free devs that move all togheter in the same direction just because it will be a nice amount fo manpower is just an accademic wast of time.

I just don't know where these people get the confidence about AMD/Nvidia and their will to support every shitty display server community throw at them...

Now Mir's here and its the classic example of "We're gonna try harder and win just to give a 'screw you!' to the other guys." So now Wayland development and Wayland-enablement has kicked upAll opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.
