is there any reason the improvements can't be carried over to wpa_supplicant, instead of making a new thing? reading the other comments here I can tell this'd be a catastrophe if deployed, and I'm sure many aren't sympathetic to development behind closed doors then opening up, especially as wpa_supplicant is just fine

And yes it's not tied to any specific hardware as it is talking to kernel API to do its job

iwd is supposed to be a smart daemon acting on its own, wpa_supplicant is designed to be a dumb tool that has to be controlled by something else.
iwd is supposed to target only Linux so it does not need to care about abstracting around many different OS APIs, wpa_supplicant is designed to multi-platform.
wpa_supplicant is just fine
With iwd you can do without a higher-level network manager application for wifi
