AFAIK Wayland is not very mature yet..
But I don't understand why they didn't use DirectFB?

Wayland might not be mature, but DirectFB is senile.

Are you trolling? What's your definition of 'senile'?
Their website indicates that they're quite active currently: http://directfb.org/

DirectFB uses obsolete architecture. Basically, it's a dumb framebuffer with optional support for accelerated blits and overlays.
Then there's a question of hardware support, DirectFB doesn't support new mainstream video cards (like, you know, NVidia or ATI).
