if the above reason you mentioned would be alone then i would like to ask you:
why should they? where is written that they or anybody else has an obigation to talk to the devs of an not even yet used project?

In contrast, look at the Mir developers. They've started their project working in isolation from other experts who might give useful feedback, justified their project's existence on the basis of supposed flaws in Wayland, and then been forced to back down and admit they have no idea what they're talking about.
