I guess it depends on what you really mean by abandoned.

Is the X11 software still being maintained? Yes it is.

Will the X11 software evolve? Not likely - last major release 7.7 is 
from 2012.

Is X11 being replaced by Wayland? Yes - I believe most Linux
distros are moving from x.org to Wayland.

Does any this matter at all? Not much - from a commercial software
perspective it is browser, Windows, macOS, Android and iOS that
matters - neither X11 nor Wayland are particular interesting.
