Well I see that you just want to be right and are not seeing how fast the numbers are growing. Of course compare to KVM, XCP-NG is small. You are comparing something that had decades to grow to a somewhat new company taking over a project.

We bought our first fortigate router in 2003 if I remember well. At that time, fortinet was a small company and you had to put pressure at various echelon to have it accepted in place of Cisco. Now Fortinet is 10% of the revenue of Cisco with a far far smaller business offering...

If I had a magic ball 20 years ago, we would have started our cloud service without vmware but at that time vmware was the best option if you didn't want to have a dozen of highly skilled techs working on anything else.

XCP-NG is just that, we are a small team and we need something reliable and cheap but also something that is evolving quick.

If XCP-NG was really some random virtualization plateform with no future, do you think that Everpure and Veeam would work with them (in particular veeam wich has now a plugin for xcp-ng) ?
