What it comes down to is political reasons. Maybe Canonical wants to separate Ubuntu from other Linux operating systems? Well, as a company that is 99% dependent on the work of the community, ie. the other Linux systems, it's still a stupid move and very, very likely to blow up on their face. Or maybe they "want the freedom to break APIs if needed and not follow a set protocol" (as I'm sure I've heard either Bacon or Shuttleworth saying) - which... pretty much amounts to the same thing, really: with that reasoning, it becomes very, very clear that it's a solution that only suits the purpose of one single user (Canonical), will not support interoperability between different implementations (anyone other than Canonical), and that it's a conscious effort to actually *break* compatibility between Ubuntu and other Linux systems.
But this wasn't about Canonical's reasons. You were earlier in the thread shouting about how KDE is stupid because they don't use Mir, and that you think they should use Mir. Since you said it, I've for the last 3-4 posts been trying to get you to answer me why exactly do you think anyone other than Canonical would want to use Mir, what reason could they possibly have to use it? But it seems you go to great lengths to avoid answering this question. If you don't have an answer, just say so, and we can assign your Mir-evangelism to irrational fanboyism.
