Is there anything truly wrong with creating a welcoming environment? People tend to stick around if they like the place - more people bringing more ideas is only a good thing for OSS.

I just don't see how an audio/video framework managed by the guys that break 3rd party compatibility with every single point release was a good idea on paper, let alone in practice.
This is not take account of the design mistakes pipewire can avoid.
Really you must not have read who the lead developer of pipewire is.
He is from Fluendo and gstreamer development these are things that did not break 3rd party compatibility with every release point release. For stability of API/ABI and quality the lead of pipewire has a solid track record.
Now the question is more is the idea of merging video/audio stacks a functional idea. Please note this is including low latency audio like jack in the mix. If it is a good idea pipewire will win out.

There is a problem when you look at this page that a single developer is doing 90%+ of the work. But the same was true with pulseaudio with Lennart Poettering big thing to remember is that Lennart Poettering other pulseaudio has no other real audio development history and he is the one who designed the core of pulseaudio.
You want to get a prototype of the ground against major resistance give to Lennart Poettering. You want quality work give it to someone like Wim Taymans who has the relevant track-record and experience.
Lennart Poettering has done the job of getting most of the graphic environments on the same page for sound server. Its now hopefully Wim Taymans job to give as the replacement to Lennart Poettering prototype pulseaudio that in fact works and covers all usage cases properly.
I really wish this development model of a prototype to unify that developer gets abused to hell then doing it that get replaced latter was not the model lot of the open source world has to-do. You really don't want to put the most skilled for the job in the unifying flame fest because they may quit their job.

I'll just quote this post:
as for rules being a cancer (which is essentially what is that statement is) may I remind you that we all follow rules in our lives. Whether they be self imposed (not drinking, smoking), those of a workplace or those of a government (local/state/national).
While anarchy might seem appealing when everyone swims in the same direction, people all have different motivations and knowing where the boundaries are helps people interact.

Communism as a concept (just like anarchy) works well in theory, but terribly in practice because humans have other ideas.
