I assume Canonical wants to have some influence with Gnome and Wayland going forward. The nature of open source, and just working with groups of people for that matter, is that you have to build consensus before trying to push changes, especially big and visible changes. Why would a volunteer coordinator (or paid contributor at a different company) even look at a contribution from another team that just called him anti-social if the code isn't perfectly in line with his goals. Even if Mark is 100% right, his 'anti-social' shots are not a good way to build in-roads with the projects Canonical will be relying on.
