Canonical announced Mir out of nowhere in an attempt to gain control just like they are trying now with Snap. After the announcement of Mir their developers went to IRC and made abundantly clear they had no idea how Wayland works and that Mir was useless. Where is Mir now? Using Wayland.
People who were in the fence about supporting Wayland were now even more convinced they should ignore it. That's one of the reasons a decade later you still have this much FUD.
