but they all work together

Lol, no. Wlroots stuff doesn't work on Sway and vice versa, then there's a few extra limited-scope imlementations with the same problem and Weston is reference only.

And TCP doens't need to duplicate keyboard/mouse input and it builds on UDP to handle low-level stuff. SSH is a better example.

Sway is based on Wlroots. No way Wlroots stuff doesn't work on Sway.

Ah, yup, i mixed them up. Is it 3 years already?
My point is: as it is, wayland will turn out to have one implementation (because the whole bunch of tasks it handles is complex and there's no compositor-to-app compatibility) and everyone will require that. Or basically a X12.

Edit: nope, it was taskbars/docks that really didn't work on both. Do they now?

I think there will be more collaboration regarding protocols between Gnome, KDE and Sway, but one single implementation? Hardly.
