anyone who thinks that pipewire - pipewire! - is "a simple solution" understands nothing about pipewire.
don't get me wrong, i use pipewire all day every day, and wrote one of the APIs (JACK) that it implements (pretty well, too!).
but pipewire is an order of magnitude more complex than pulseaudio.
As an end user hand assembling desktop services on non-Systemd distros (Artix, Devuan, Gentoo, Guix) over the years, and thus had no concern about APIs, Pipewire just works and PulseAudio gave endless trouble.
