There's XWayland for interop. Besides that, people have been moving away from X11 for years now.

  I still question myself as to why

    Have you actually used Wayland? Besides the obvious current issues (compatibility and/or missing features), it is way better. Even something as simple as moving and resizing windows feels noticeably faster and more responsive on Wayland compared to X. I don't use it at the moment because of compatibility issues with some software that I use, but that's not Wayland's fault.

      > Besides the obvious current issues (compatibility and/or missing features) I mean, that's the whole biggest criticism of wayland, 15 years in and it still doesn't work (well?) with the biggest GPU brand. The criticism has always been about whether it is worth it to fragment linux land and throw away a few decades worth of work on X.

        My criticism of Wayland has always been that they dropped a spec, forgot to make an actual server, and now every window manager needs to implement support for various extensions separately. It's a fine design if you assume everyone only uses Gnome, but... It's not just throwing away a decade's worth of work on X, it's making everyone redo that work per display manager (thankfully wlroots exists as a kind of Wayland shared library).
