You've stated the blindingly obvious. The issue is that in certain cases there are not "plenty of tools available" but rather none that work properly. Most of the gaps have been closed by now (AFAICT) but the refrain for at least the past 5 years has been that the issues don't exist rather than acknowledging the glaringly obvious usability problems in an upfront manner. I'd characterize the wayland ecosystem as only just barely production ready (for typical desktop use) today. I don't think it was ready when I switched to it. As but one example, to this day drag and drop between windows still doesn't work reliably for me (I'm running sway) although it's certainly better than it used to be. Or consider multi-window usecases seen in scientific computing (among other things) and the active hostility of the maintainers towards standardizing any protocol that would enable an application to actively control layout across multiple monitors (provided user consent, of course).
