For a moment I think this was a Linux community talking about X.Org.
X is dead.
Long Life X
On RedHat-provided Life Support, yes, but dead, not yet. Only when Redhat ends support for RHEL 9, and thus, for X.Org.
Wayland is still horrible on nVidia cards
So, not as dead as you think. Also many apps still run through xwayland
I blame that 100% on Nvidia. Buying an Nvidia card these days for Linux makes about as much sense as buying an iPhone to run Android. Linus summed it up well https://youtu.be/iYWzMvlj2RQ
The number of applications that run through xwayland is shrinking every day.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
X is still the only choice for certain roles. Wayland is missing absolute window positioning (required for certain multi-window apps), color management, and drawing tablet support is spotty. Some apps will never be ported to Wayland.
X is bloated, old, obsolete, impossible to maintain, and immortal.
