May I restate that?

Linux, Wayland, Btrfs, systemd, Pulseaudio .... this is not the Unix that I remember!

if it was just leave your baggage behind people wouldn't mind as much.

but when you also insist that they leave their tools, workflows, and features behind it becomes a problem.

exactly. if i can do what i want to do with the next wave of change, then i'm ok with it. it's when someone declares: "why would you want to do that? nobody does that!" (perhaps inserting a gratuitous ageist remark) "no, you won't be able to do that." (sometimes: "not in the first release") "...and there's no reason to do that when you can do *this*" that is when the change starts to seem gratuitous and resistance is discovered.

Sounds like a gaggle of Mac users. If I wanted that, I would just use a Mac.
