  In-fighting here is characterized as the strange differences between Wayland and x11. It's perfectly fine if the Wayland developers don't want to focus on building a desktop window server, but they shouldn't position themselves as the dominant player if they're not going to make it work well for everyone. wlroots doesn't solve this in a meaningful way, and the aversion to adding meaningful features permanently positions Wayland as a worse window server than, say, Quartz. If x11 developers don't want to build x11 anymore, fine. I have no problem with those contributors walking away. They shouldn't try to replace a passenger jet with a helicopter though, just because they "both fly" doesn't mean they achieve the same purposes or have the same design principles.
