the word insisting shows your arrogance. Insisting on something implies one has a choice. Those who are sticking with X11 are doing so because wayland just does not do what they need.

If it's not insisting, it's demanding, which is worse.

There are many tools now that replace X11 behavior. If Wayland doesn't "do what they need", at this point there's a strong chance they have not put in any effort into making it work for them.

For desktop forwarding there's waypipe.

For tablet users, KDE (And probably gnome) have pretty good tablet support at this point.

For artists, KDE JUST got much better color calibration and HDR support.

For gamers, WINE now has an experimental Wayland-native mode, and barring that we have Gamescope to make it behave semi-native (so this one is more of a future-ish solution that you can use now).

Screen recording mostly just works with pipewire and almost everything supports it now including Discord.

Etc.
