What killed the Linux desktop?

I think it's a good thing gnu/linux hasn't been the mainstream OS, it allowed the distribution to do things the way the coders wanted to rather than capitulate to public pressure.

It is exactly this attitude that prevents widespread adoption.
 
And of course, the reaction: https://plus.google.com/115250422803614415116/posts/hMT5kW8LKJk

The only point i find myself sympathising with is the idea that developers are trying to fix problems users don't even know they have. Doubtless there are advantages to systemd and Wayland and the like, but in terms of the end user it does look a lot like a huge fuss to fix something that wasn't broken.
