Wayland seems ready to me but the main problem that many programs are not configured / compiled to support it. Why is that? I know it’s not easy as “Wayland support? Yes” (but in many cases adding a flag is enough but maybe it’s not a perfect support). What am I missing? Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.

When Wayland is detected, it is the preferred system, otherwise X11 will be used

Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.

    Someone above mentioned screen reader support for blind use accessibility stuff. For users who are blind, this is critical.

      This is actually one thing that doesn’t involve wayland, as pretty much everyone is using at-spi. It’s not great, but it does work.
