The problem is that they can't be fixed, as I understand. People are asking for things that some see as features and others see as bugs.

The difficulty is not in building a decent Wayland desktop from scratch (GNOME, Sway and ChromeOS have all done this), but in rewriting X11 window managers, screen sharing apps and automation tools that perform functions that are the compositor’s responsibility under Wayland.
