Until recently there was no real alternative to it though. I recently learned about waypipe, so it should be possible to run wayland applications remotely over SSH at last (not sure how well it works/performs, but it exists). Granted there is also sixel and tek4014 support in xterm, but they are quite limited in what they can do and not too many applications have display frontends for that.
