Pulseaudio was also replaced relatively quickly by pipewire.

I really wouldn't say that... PulseAudio has been around since like 2004, and PipeWire's initial release was in 2017 (13 years later). I don't think PulseAudio was incorporated into most distros by default until like 2007 or so, but that's still 10 years before PipeWire was even released. PipeWire is only recently becoming the default in popular distros. We've had to deal with Pulse for a long time.

That’s horrifying. I was just writing from memory and resisting pulse for a few years after it was sort of the defacto standard.
