The question then becomes whether you believe every major distro is part of some giant conspiracy to kill X despite them being in competition with each other and having incentives to keep supporting X if users want it, or if X may indeed have severe problems that Wayland fixes.
In practice most things run absolutely fine under both Wayland and X, but some programs integrated tightly with X back in the day and for various reasons they cannot be rewritten because the devs have moved on, died, or simply because there is no budget for it. Users of those programs are quite upset that the X developers have collectively decided that putting extra effort in X is no longer worth it because its problems are effectively unfixable.
