I'm an Asahi user and I back the project on Patreon. I also use xorg and don't have any plans on switching to Wayland any time soon. My reason is simple, there isn't an equivalent to xmonad on Wayland (nope sway isn't an equivalent for me).

I don't have any issue with Asahi focusing on Wayland first. But this attitude doesn't make me feel great. Is it really so difficult to have a little bit of empathy for your end users?

You are so entitled. Xorg is dead, you can use it. Don't expect anyone to help you though.

The person expressed disappointment not entitlement. People aren't entitled to others labor but they are certainly entitled to have an opinion. Aside from that X is still used by the majority of users. Calling it dead is to invoke Monty Python.

X: I'm not dead yet

Wayland Proponents: Well, he will be soon. He's very ill.

X: I support rootless operation and mixed DPI

Wayland Proponents: You'll be stone dead in a moment.

X: I think I'll release a new version of a window manager

Wayland Proponents: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Look. Isn't there something you can do?

X: [singing] I feel happy. I feel happy.
