Right, so the problem isn't "nobody wants to work on X11", it's that "Red Hat management doesn't want to hire anybody to work on X11", and phrasing it as the former is extremely dishonest.

Why is Red Hat the one who has to pay for development? Why not any other Linux contributor? Ubuntu, Google, AMD. They don't want to hire anybody to work on X11 either. Why not you? That's why it's "everybody doesn't want to pay for development", which is shortened to "nobody wants to".

actually ubuntu also paid people, but x11 is so fucked that was never enough, that's why google never used it, and why they adopted wayland in the chromeOS
