Right, I figured capturing is the big ticket item, and that most people wouldn't care what OBS itself runs on. Is there a reason to care about it running on XWayland other than being able to say you don't need X at all anymore? Would you expect to see major improvements for apps that are already doing all their heavy lifting in GLX on X11?

I personally don't on my setup but the reason to do it is so other plugins can make use of EGL extensions. Native Wayland support just comes along with that trivially. Future development on platform-integration extensions is expected to happen in EGL instead of in GLX. For a current example the other PR that does direct KMS capture needs EGL to work, even with the X11 backend.
