What's the complexity you're referring to? I don't see it.

Having lots of choice for window managers is decades old and completely normal. It's modular and it continues to get easier. I don't see any burden but perhaps I misunderstand.

I were thinking of complexity of patching the software and keeping up with upstream (i.e. maintaining a fork).

I just have a feeling (highly subjective, sorry) that some major GNU/Linux distros (especially Ubuntu) are turning from a distribution of loose coupled exchangeable components to monolithic tightly-integrated products.

Well, Debian seems perfectly fine in this regard, so even as Ubuntu user (for now) I don't care much about the situation. Sorry - I were wrong writing like this was about the whole GNU/Linux ecosystem.
