I can't speak for Joeron, but if I were in his shoes, my thinking qould 
go like this:

I wouldn't expect it to mean much for Fox. X11 still works pretty much 
everywhere that Wayland exists, via XWayland, so support for Wayland 
does not broaden the range of machines that a Fox application will run 
on, it only adds complexity and support overhead with another backend.

And no, you can't drop X11 and replace it with Wayland. X11 is still the 
only way to get a Fox application to run on macOS, and nobody wants to 
add native Mac Cocoa support for the same reason: mo' backends, mo' 
problems.

Enno.
