This is the tragedy of the Linux Desktop. The problem with F/OSS is the "Free" part (as in "Beer"); as long as users resist paying for software, you will never have a rich enough ecosystem to develop that very software. The problems you list with "systemd, wayland, snaps/flatpacks, Docker, k8s, and all the other erratic developments" is that they are largely meant to solve corporate problems.
