It is not clear why the switch to pipewire is only about Gnome.
I use Tumbleweed KDE, where pipewire is the default regardless of the DE and it works great.
For users who are having problems with pipewire, it is still possible to switch to Pulse quite easily anyway.
There is no perfect software, there is a lot of different hardware out there and it can happen that certain hardware for some reason does not work well with pipewire, but the opposite also happens, however today pipewire is a great improvement for most users. , this is why all distributions are now setting it by default.
But the question remains ... why only in Gnome?
