Wow, saving this mail.  Thanks.

This is just my $0.02 when it comes to some new system.

It is very valid to work only towards improving Emacs in its current
form without fundamental changes, making it a more pleasant experience
for the stable user base.  Especially for people who aren't into
programming, and can't be expected to fix their environmental all the
time.  Making fundamental changes to expand user base is the risky move
and what would be the gain apart from ideological significance; bragging
rights?

If it is to be done though, new things must be tried. A "Do. Or do not.
There is no try." situation if you will.

Like ditching GTK altogether.  Maybe it will instead attract contributors
that value knowing what goes under the hood, and would much rather
spend time with documentation of Wayland?  Passion for computing
is the common ground for Emacs users after all.
