So you tell us Freedesktop.org people

1. Claiming XFree86 evil

2. Forking it as X.org

3. Shortly after all distros finished switching to X.org, declaring it obsolete and announcing wayland

4. stopping any major development on X.org immediately even though it's was the one and only option at the time

5. and channeling all development resources (not only on the display server, but also downstream users like toolkits, DEs etc.) to rewrite their code for a protocol that wasn't even gonna be usable until a 10+ years later

6. Depraving Linux desktop users from 10-15 years of improvements and making Linux graphis stack stuck in 2000s

wasn't hijacking the Linux graphic stack?

I mean had Steve Balmer wanted to sabotage Linux in desktop he couldn't do better

If you want to continue working on Xorg you can. You could have done that 10 years ago as well.
