Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

It does for me. For some reason my touchpad has really high scroll sensitivity with libinput. It's borderline unusable. The only desktop environment that exposes the ability to change this sensitivity is plasma Wayland. AFAIK there's technical reasons it can't be done on xorg without hacky workarounds. This is the killer feature for me.
In addition both plasma and gnome only have 1:1 touchpad gestures on their Wayland sessions. Obviously I could use third party tools for trackpad gestures under x11 but those aren't 1:1.
Also while I'm aware that fractional scaling on Wayland is a mess and hacky but I still find the fractional scaling implementation on KDE Wayland to be the best, followed by KDE on xorg. I need fractional scaling for things to be appropriate sizes on my laptop screen.
For my desktop I still use x11 because of nvidia but I would definitely benefit from the multi monitor improvements under Wayland since I have two monitors of differing refresh rates and it causes issues.
Congrats, you're the 1%.
Nope, I also use it for many of these things. They're not alone by a long shot.
If you want to continue to use X11, you are free to simply not update your machine any further. It's unlikely you value security, so this shouldn't be an issue for you.
You clearly don't understand what 1% is. Do you think it means it just one person?
And you're equally clueless about my entire argument here.
