What does this mean? Wayland is a protocol. There's no process named Wayland.

if (desktop && *desktop) { // If user is on a custom WM that sets XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP?

AFAIK XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is the name of the current desktop environment, such as KDE Plasma. While kwin is the name of Window manager (or Wayland compositors, strictly speaking)

In fastfetch they are different modules.

ffStrbufSetStatic(&ds->wmPrettyName, desktop);
} // if not it says Quartz Compositor

ffStrbufSetS(&ds->wmProtocolName, FF_WM_PROTOCOL_WAYLAND); // Adds (Wayland) at the end of WM
}
}

detectDisplays(ds);
