Firefox Wayland By Default Diverted To Fedora 31

I used firefox-wayland on Fedora 29 for about a month and never had any issues. That doesn't mean there aren't any issues, but it probably works well enough for many users. Would've been cool if they shipped firefox-wayland by default and then had a firefox-x11 package for those having issues with the wayland backend.

shouldn't Gnome Web be the default browser on the default Gnome Desktop distro?
If not, why wasting programming force?

Adopting GTK 3+ seems to take long for other projects too. For example XFCE announced GTK3 plans around 4 years ago. XFCE's a rather minimal DE which shouldn't take too long.
In fact if you compare the screenshot from 2018 here

and
- https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/roadmap
you'll see that xfce4-session has regressed backwards. From 100% to 99%. No progress on xfwm4 in over a year.
Also GTK3 GIMP is still WIP even though GIMP started the whole GTK. GIMP developers have probably the best knowledge of GTK on this planet. So how can it take so long?
Isn't that related to Wayland? It's not possible to optimize the video decoding and overlays before Wayland is available?
But in GIMP's case, it has more to do with the fact that they wanted to add some important features and stuff first, in other words: they had different priorities.
