See my comments about Wayland team not listening to their users.
It is probably a niche feature FOR THEM.
Now, I most certainly agree that X over network is horribly inefficient.
However:
1. RDP is a freaking mess on Linux. It may be much better at the protocol level, but all the clients are horrible, and it misbehaves horribly across WANs and/or firewalls. And setting the whole fucking thing up is certainly *way* harder than typing the casual one-liner "export DISPLAY=<ip>:0; firefox&"
2. There is therefore no alternative to X11-over-the-net, and in this 21st century world of everything-in-the-browser enshitification, having to use X11 over the network is something I hit and absolutely rely on about once a week when configuring remote servers.
