1.6% of gamers use Linux. 25% of developers use Linux. Typical tech enthusiast is not gamer. Just because in your bubble people use VRR doesn't mean it's important to majority of users. Most Linux users don't care.

1.6% of gamers is still millions of people. Entire industries exist on the back of much smaller customer bases than that. Might as well say we should stop caring about desktop linux completely since the server market dwarfs it.

I'm not saying we should just ignore it. I'm saying that it took the time it took (a decade) for Wayland to become a thing because most people don't need it. Some people do and it's not getting traction but most people can still safely ignore it.
