Every time this topic comes up, a bunch of people remind that Wayland doesn't yet have an accepted standard for basic features. Wayland is very good at some niche features like HiDPI or fractional scaling* , but more people (at least two orders of magnitude more) need screensharing these days when companies move to WFH.
* Yes, these are relatively niche features right now. e.g. Look at the Steam hardware survey: more people run resolutions below 1080p than above it - and that's in a biased sample, since gamers are more likely to have high resolution monitors! Now, it's nice to be future proof, but these features should not be prioritized over basic features.
