"Failures of leadership" implies that leadership actually exists. Does it?
Right, this is basically peoples' hobby projects. Nobody is incentivized to "lead" the Wayland project.
Actually, that'd probably be a better outcome. But as it is, Red Hat & Ubuntu et al pay people to work on Wayland and those people follow corporate priorities rather than centralized priorities.
I think Red Hat wants a working desktop but I don't think they have strong official opinions on how to get there. I think individual people are responsible for the GNOME/Wayland/Freedesktop messes.
