If Wayland wants to be a hobby piece of software that scratches an itch for a couple of people, you’re perfectly correct.
If it wants to displace Xorg, one of the most widely used pieces of software in the community, it’s going to have to cater to the users’ needs. And I do mean needs; a working DE is not a whim.
