DEC was a key contributor in the development of X11. But that was then.

I wonder who you think is “grabbing” this “power”. Both systemd and 
Wayland are open-source projects, created by people who see a problem and 
are trying to fix it. Those in the community who see value in these 
efforts adopt their solutions, others don’t. There is no Monopolistic™ 
BigCorp® forcing any of these things down our throats. If you don’t want 
to use them, don’t use them.
