They (Linux Foundation, Red Hat), wants to lock people in and turn Linux into a Microsoft Windows Clone. Red Hat is funding this development, the Foundation is controlled by fortune 500 companies who want nothing but 100% control over Linux.
Right now, I can move to a BSD without any pain. Once applications requires Wayland you are stuck with a RHEL type Linux. I expect Mozilla to require Wayland maybe in 2 or 3 years.

Mozilla took away native ALSA support and forced everyone to use PulseAudio, fortunately there are emulation libraries you can install to work around that.
