Bold titles like this are misleading - Wayland is a necessary replacement for X.org that allows it to evolve beyond what is currently possible. "The Linux desktop" is an equally misleading phrase as it leads others to believe that it's a focal point of Linux, or a product that the open source community is trying to push to compete with macOS and Windows (where the graphical desktop is often seen as a defining feature). A Linux desktop is merely a Linux distribution with at least one of several different graphical desktop environments and related components. That is all it is, and the traditional X.org windowing system used by many of these graphical desktop environments is fast being replaced by a more modern version. It's not uncommon for people to resist change or critique features of software as it evolves (as the author has done), but in the end, Wayland really is the Way forward for X.org and the points made by the author will likely be moot in a short while.
