> Now that Ubuntu has given up on Wayland by default
Ubuntu has not given up on Wayland by default but delayed it by one more LTS (particulary because of bugs like this one).
Wayland by default is still the plan for the next LTS (and the interim releases between 18.04 and 20.04). The incentive for transitioning the apps has not dropped but it was clear that it could not be finished by 18.04.
