Wayland is dead. It kind of always has been. I'm not saying this out of some luddic or political sentiment, but merely the observation of objective fact that Wayland is 16 years old, and almost all of the feature limitations that it currently has have existed for all of its lifespan.
To clarify, note that the advantages (not theoretical "X was designed for a server-terminal architecture in the 70s and wayland is designed for modern systems", but material use cases) Wayland has over X are merely HiDPI displays, and variable refresh rates, and that they did not meaningfully exist in 2009 when Wayland was released. That Wayland holds these advantages only some 13 years after its inception, and that it holds them chiefly because Wayland developers actively block their implementation in X is the clearest example of Wayland's unlife.
Wayland is not a unique case, but a simple example of the business practices of RedHat corporation whose entire financial model depends on selling products with readily available free susbstitutes and thus absolutely requires the sabotage of such free products. Where as X, and init, and a host of other free software implement the "pro" features that RedHat sells for free, Redhat's alternatives which extinguish these free projects don't. The developers block them because such alternatives are "for common users", and not for " Pro users" and that a "Pro user" should use a "pro product" and that they can't expect the "free" developers to dedicate their "volunteer" labor to maintaining those "pro" solutions when there isn't a "usecase" for the "real community". These Redhat projects not only deliberately halt the free projects, they actively alter them to break compatibility with independent competing projects so as to magnify the effort needed to compete with RedHat " Pro" offerings to the point of unsustainablility.
