You're still moving the goalposts!
You started out claiming that most folks were running in a modern environment that was *incapable* of wayland. I pointed out that this was likely incorrect.
Now you're instead claiming that most folks _aren't_ running wayland. Whether you are correct or not, it's a very different proposition -- of course folks intentionally using old versions of software aren't going to have newer features that come with the newer versions.
(Meanwhile, Debian popcon numbers probably aren't representative of Debian as a whole, nor is it likely representative of the rest of the Linux ecosystem)

Great, more anectdata!
....So, how many of these "lots of RHEL7[+rebuilds] out there" are *desktops* versus servers? IME it was overwhelmingly the latter, even when RHEL was the _current_ release instead of being obsoleted three times over.
