libadwaita exists solely to move Gnome specific stuff out of GTK into libadwaita.

And it's hard to see how an open source project with as many developers as Gnome/GTK have can have some secret agenda that is counter to what they are saying publicly and creating libraries and code publicly to implement.

How many serious Gnome/GTK developers are there who are not IBM employees?

That question is a non-sequitur. But to give you a type of answer, most of libadwaita came out of Purism.
