Commit d9829ccb ("Remove failure dependency") made the case that thiserror could be used as a replacement for the failure crate just as well, but opted to use derive_more as it was "already used" by wl-clipboard-rs. Checking the repo before that commit reveals that this was an unused dependency lingering in Cargo.toml, without any other references to derive_more.
Furthermore derive_more is an extremely heavy crate that is causing a multitude of issues for us (such as inordinate compile times) which is why we deter it from our dependency graph altogether.
