I disagree, though. Wayland itself is definitely not meant to be a threat to BSD.
There are some anti-patterns in the Wayland ecosystem that lead to arguably unnecessary dependency on things like DBus, but Wayland itself doesn't actually need much and you should find that SwayWM works fine on FreeBSD. However, the graphics stack and drivers for BSDs are a little bit behind, which is arguably a bigger threat.
