Things like desktop automation, screen sharing, screen recording, remote desktop etc. are incredibly broken, with no hope in sight because the core design of Wayland simply didn't account for them(!?), apparently.
Add to that the decision to push everything downstream into compositors, which led to widespread feature fragmentation and duplicated effort.
Add to that antagonizing the largest graphics chipset manufacturer (by usage among Linux desktop users) for no good reason. Nvidia has never had an incentive to cater to the Linux desktop, so Linux desktop users sending them bad vibes is... neither here nor there. It certainly won't make them move faster.
Add to that the million little bugs that crop up when you try to use Wayland with any of the desktop apps whose developers aren't snorting the Koolaid and not dedicating oustanding effort to catching up to Wayland – which is most of them.

I cannot use Wayland.
I'm an average Linux desktop user, who has an Nvidia card, has no need for Wayland "security", doesn't have multiple monitors with different refresh rates, uses desktop automation, screen sharing, screen recording, remote desktop on a daily basis, and uses lots of apps which don't work perfectly with Wayland.
...how and why would I subject myself to it? I'd have to be a masochist.
The unfortunate reality is that some people will buy anything that expires, on the remote chance someone might be interested. If they're set on doing that there's nothing you can do, they will grab it and block it for at least one more year.
IMHO the best thing you can do is nothing. I mean nothing beyond discreetly checking the domain state in whois. Don't inquire explicitly about the domain. Don't use the WHOIS form on websites you don't trust to exploit such queries into grabbing domains themselves.
You can use
whoisfrom the command line (best way). Alternatively, the TLD registry will have a WHOIS form on their official website.If you don't generate any apparent interest they will eventually let the domain lapse. Check back a year from now.
