Emphasis on the plural in "toolkits", X has one standard interface running on people's computers that window managers target. X environments end up having common behavior regardless of window manager, and for application developers having to target each Wayland display server with its own subset of protocols has to be less appealing. That is what that comment was getting at. Application developers don't want to log your keyboard and aren't oblivious to security. The lack of a standard Wayland display server is a real grievance.

Where is that common behavior, is that GNOME's one, KDE' one, or the million tiny window managers' ones? Would you swear that no "application" developer would want to log my keyboard if we include the transitive dependencies of every single nodejs/python/etc package that I use for regular-ass development? Because we have seen how trustworthy supply-chains are. But sure, you can definitely drive a car without a seatbelt on, it's just not a good idea.
