HN and r/linux have had this same argument countless times. Wayland was developed by the people behind Xorg because X11 was designed to send output from a minicomputer to a terminal. It is way too complex and fragile for modern use cases.
Many of the issues this post has with Wayland are by design, applications shouldn't have full access to what everything else is doing to the compositor and instead request permission via a protocol. It's like complaining kernels are dumb because you need to make system calls.
