Maybe, but I think it matters when discussing it. If we talk about it like this, it seems that Wayland is to blame. But there's nothing wrong with Wayland [1].
Wayland here ends up often being the scapegoat of a Linux community that looks to want to change but can't sort itself out. The result of blaming these issues on Wayland instead of - mostly - Gnome and KDE means that we're not going to the right places to have this fixed. In terms of bug reports, and contributions of code and money.
[1]: I mean, if you can come to terms with the substantial architectural differences implied by Wayland w.r.t. to X11. But that's a discussion on another level.
