It is obvious that bad implementations and reinventions of the wheel are systemd, wayland and pipewire, instead of creating solutions, they create problems.
We should start now, a way to maintain stable software and with a sound development philosophy, focusing on portability and security, applications using gtk, should they be abandoned in the gtk 5 version or have a fork, they can be replaced by equivalents in other libraries. There is no way to continue reinventing the wheel, each new software, without stable APIs, *BSD systems adopting Linux instability, will end up following the same path!
