I can promise you one thing.

I never see any new technology now, of any kind, whose objective is not to reduce the overall autonomy of the person using it. UEFI, Wayland, Systemd, non-rootable smartphones, all of them.

The sole purpose of all of these technologies is to remove the capacity of human beings to both understand and control the computers they use. This is meant to create a scenario where the user does absolutely nothing but passively consume, as a source of profit for corporations. Said corporations are also intent on ensuring that your consumption is only done in the way they specify, in the locations they specify, at the times they specify, and most importantly, at the price they specify. The computer is intended to be nothing other than a distribution platform. It is not intended to be anything which provides genuine empowerment or an increase in wellbeing.

So yes, Wayland will be complex. It will be complex in order to ensure that you can not understand it. This is because if you could understand it, you might be able to control it; and if you could control it, then you might be able to use a computer as a means to do something other than mindlessly, passively consume. "Modernity," is used as a meaningless, subjective smokescreen to justify complexity; but the appeal to modernity is nothing more than that. There is no legitimate requirement or justification for anything to be incomprehensibly complex; if anything, things should get progressively less complex with time, as understanding and experience increases.

All downvotes of this post will be regarded as attempts at censorship of the expression of an unpopular opinion.
