This is a better comment than your previous one, in which you just dismissed the project and the work people have been doing without touching on any key issues you might have with wayland.

I myself was not a fan of wayland either, due to a bunch of functionality removed which I use in my workflow, and will stick with XOrg until XFCE forces me to switch to Wayland.

There's a lot of churn in the Linux ecosystem, and some are going to be better received than others. I didn't see the point in Wayland (but I'm not a maintainer of XOrg code to understand how bad the codebase is), I see the principle behind ideas like Flatpak (although not sure if they have a good sandboxing story now, but they sure have their GBs of layers), but when it comes to pipewire, for example, I'm very happy that it exists.
