What I said is that it works for majority of desktop users, the mentioned issues of tearing or security are non issue for this group of users. I know Wayland is supposed to be better because it is modern and has a better design but personally I won't swap something that works for something that is still not supporting all MY use cases (Wine) just because of theoretical benefits (for me for others there may be benefits like mixed DPI setups).
Conclusion I am not defending X11 architecture, but for a majority the features it has are good enough despite of the architecture and limitations.
