Because X is not getting much development at this point (personally I still use i3, haven’t switched to Sway, the present works fine for me).

This argument is actually backwards: one of the goals of the wayland project is to draw development away from X. If wayland didn't exist, people would have worked on X11 a lot more.

That's X.org, which is controlled by the Free Desktop Foundation.

The OpenBSD people are still working on Xenocara, and it introduces actual security via pledge system calls.
