> as this mean they would think that collaboration with others slow down projects.

Which is often true as far as I can tell, unless someone involved is very good at release management. Though it can be worth the wait.

Collaboration with existing projects to modify them to suit you needs or atleast having a conversation with them is not really more of a slow down than rewriting the entire thing from scratch especially for a key component that they don't have a lot of in-house expertise to speak of. They didn't even try to talk to Wayland developers before launching this project.
