Without a compositor, when you ask to draw a line, a rectangle, a circle or even a bitmap, it is drawn immediately. Sure, it isn't done in zero time, there is some latency, but that is the case with any graphics system :-).
As for the compositor, it isn't impossible to create a Wayland "compositor" that draws directly on the front buffer either, it is just harder and pointless since Xorg exists :-P.
But yeah, if everyone abandons Xorg (and by everyone i mean Everyone, not just the popular kids) and nobody forks it (which i doubt it'll happen as there are a ton of people who dislike Wayland) and nobody else steps up to do something about it, then yeah, i'll most likely just make my own suckless Wayland compositor. I'd prefer the world to stay sane though so i can continue doing other stuff :-P.
