Autodesk have been the same with Maya on Linux. The 2027 version has just been released, and it still doesn't have full Wayland support. The VFX Reference platform doesn't mandate Wayland support. And strangely enough, Maya versions prior to 2025 work perfectly fine on Wayland (they migrated to Qt 6 with 2025)
Yeah, sucks that VFX Reference can't just ensure broader Wayland support, would be amazing, but they/it tend to be very conservative, for good reasons too.
To be fair, most studios seems to still be using CentOS 7 and Rocky 8, latest Ubuntu version tend to be 20.xx, all of them relatively old from like 2020s sometime.
Wonder what really stops them to have an agent dig for a night, and have this compatibility in place. Even if it means them say - this is very unstable, use with caution.

AFAIK, the entire point of that reference platform is that nothing is "very unstable" or even "unstable" but instead a stable target to develop against. I'm guessing adding something like that would defeat the purpose somehow, and risk getting studios vary enough to make it not worth it.
