That’s more of an indicator that plasma’s wayland implementation is not yet ready/stable.

That is why I mentioned it being dependent on the user's hardware and software. "Use a different desktop environment" isn't really an acceptable solution. I don't think it is fully ready until the overwhelming majority of users can move to Wayland without having to give up their current hardware and software.

There is no one wayland. There are many implementations of the protocol, some ahead of the other. I don’t see why wouldn’t it be ready, when out of the 3 major ones, one is not yet there — especially when one of the two working ones (wlroots) is really extensible and anyone can create their own wm/compositor

No Wayland implementation works 100% on an Nvidia GPU yet, they are just in varying states broken. I mentioned Plasma because it is what I have the most familiarity with, but Mutter is only slightly better and Sway doesn't work at all yet.
