Your Toyota Corolla is more reliable than any supercar ever made. Supercar owners just have money to pay people to handle the unreliability. But reliability isn't the only measure of quality.

Kristian Høgsberg, for example, was a Red Hat employee. Then he worked at Intel, where it appears he continued work on Wayland? So Red Hat and Intel at least? People are being paid full-time to work on Wayland, so those companies.
