Considering that most open-source apps are going to support Wayland (via GTK or Qt), Ubuntu could get a lot of applications simply by supporting Wayland, at least for their desktop-mode. This shouldn't hamper their mobile efforts - they just need to add Wayland bindings to Mir. Mir is still under their control and they can keep the Mir-specific binding as well in order to support 'Ubuntu touch' apps.

Canonical - do the right thing for once. It's not too late.
