The maintainers of XOrg killed xorg because they made horrible mistakes, like allowing anyone to contribute directly. Now you have 20 ways to do something in xorg.
>3 "right ways" depending on what you want to do (each one has it's own bugs)
>one for every time nvidia contributed to the project (you need to look up wich graphic cards you are using to see what is the most apropriated)
>at less 3 for amd drivers
>only god knows how many for "all drivers" *wink wink*
It was a nightmare. Xorg quickly became the most bloated piece of software that everyone depended on, and very few people wanted to maintain it, and even fewer were actually good enough to do so.

Wayland was created in 2008, it was not something rushed and forced upon everyone else. The guys who made it knew what they were doing and refused to make the same mistakes that ruined X11. This pissed a lot of people off who expected a drop-in replacement with support for the hundreds of different ways of doing the same thing that xorg offered (but rarely worked).
