sndio used in OpenBSD and FreeBSD is arguarably simpler than alsa or pulseaudio or pipewire. The simple fact that Linux has 3 sound systems in the same time period that the two biggest *BSDs has had one is telling. Admittedly I've never used pipewire yet but I know sndio is better than pulseaudio.

There is really no reason for PulseAudio API users to migrate to PipeWire yet. PipeWire has first-class support for the PulseAudio API, while PulseAudio API users might have to support environments where PipeWire is not commonplace yet. IMHO, it's really not appropriate to compare this with the ongoing X11 -> Wayland telenovela.

Please define normal users. There are issues with PulseAudio other than low latency.
