Well, sure.
But the greater frustration here seems to be lack of interest in multi user graphical computing.
Without the basic nature of X being a priority, the whole system is less. X was done the way Unix was.
People thought through general purpose multi user networked computing. Sometimes just multi user, serial tty style.
The gift of C was that same level of thought behind multi hser graphical computing. Again, sometimes networked, in the same fashion as above.
Current efforts are not multi user graphical computing as a focus.
It is said it can be.
Many who understand how to use X think it should be. Unix is a powerful OS, with some of that potential being sidelined to optimize for specific cases.
Long term, that may be a net loss.
We may also find it gets reinvented again too.
