Ubuntu single-handedly delayed Wayland adoption by years. They didn't switch to Wayland by default, because the apps weren't ready. The apps weren't ready, because they ran on current Ubuntu just fine, so why would they change. Chicken, egg. Compare that to Apple macOS. Apple breaks macOS compatibility at the rate that GNOME can gush with envy. But the third parties are quick to update, without dragging their feet for years. So if the signalling was, that Wayland is inevitable by release XX.YY, apps would be ready.
