I used to think the same way regarding Wayland. But then I realized the abysmal state of X11 remoting: most applications I would like to use remotely are basically sending images over the network, instead of just API calls. Try using Firefox over X11 forwarding. I think some battles have been lost in this regard.
The creators of Wayland decided that it is not their task to handle remoting. You could argue that this demphasizes the issue, leaving it to insufficient VNC, dead projects like NX, or not yet production ready projects like X2Go (once they support Wayland that is).
