I didn't claim Wayland was finished and practical for every day use right now. It's not.
Regarding how long Wayland and the software ecosystem has been in development and whether it has been too long. What is too long? Wayland is a massive change to the GNU/Linux desktop ecosystem. How long should we expect to wait for this change to be user-ready? I don't know. What I do know is that the Wayland effort has come a very long way since a decade ago. I can install Ubuntu and enable the Wayland compositor and it's a nice experience. It's not ready yet, but it's in good shape. There are huge numbers of people that want the improvements that Wayland is designed to bring and there are huge numbers of people working on writing the Wayland code to make those improvements a reality.
Wayland will come. When it's ready I'm confident I wont ever want to go back to Xorg. I want a faster, less clunky and more secure desktop and Wayland is the absolute best and most likely effort to bring me that.
And regarding your comment Templar: nice argument. Quality. /s
