Just not in the same way Microsoft or Apple do. Because they have different targets.

I'm actually in the opposite camp because I have no issues with X since it just works for me. To be honest, X will be on my machine for as long as the mainline distros provide LXDE packages because that is my desktop of choice.
This is that you have not really looked under the hood of X11. The reality is X11 has not been in very good state for a long time. Like the fact that if a screen locker fails under X11 the result is fail unlocked instead of fail locked. The list go on with know faults like this that make X11 not suitable for enterprise classes of desktop usage.

At least on Ubuntu I cannot install GNOME without it pulling in XWayland and X.Org as a dependency.
I want GNOME on Wayland without XWayland even installed on my system.
