Considering many Linux developers actually use MBPs with macOS, even at Red Hat, I wouldn't be surprised if none of them actually use Wayland for more than a short time per day.
I've been running Fedora for the past few years, Debian/Ubuntu/Mint prior to that, and try Wayland with every new release. I tried Wayland with current Fedora 38 and had to change gdm/gnome to go back to Xorg nearly immediately as Wayland was still constantly breaking, and nearly 15 years after Wayland was first released.
I don't even play games or do other 'unusual things' with my desktop, and have an old AMD RX 5500 (2019) with open source drivers, so nothing bleeding edge or nvidia.
Maybe in another 15 years Wayland, and the compositors that implement it, will finally work for a basic desktop setup.
If a dist dropped Xorg my only real options would be to either switch dists or go back to Windows/macOS as Wayland does not work reliably for real world desktop use.👎
