Y'all focused on window positioning here, but how about more important things
like global keybindings, clipboard, layout switching, screen capturing, tray
icons, and so? Tiny things like LightShot or Punto Switcher may easily rely on
lots of this simultaneously. Wayland just treats all that things out-of-scope
and delegates their implementation to compositors with no standardization (and
no enforcing to make this things available to Wayland clients at all, rather
than to the compositor only).

There are some ongoing efforts on making Wayland protocol extensions, as well
as independent technologies like PipeWire, but I doubt they ever will be
supported by ALL compositors (especially by GNOME bigots that tend to ditch
things just because they don't fit their philosophy). Yet the similar happened
smoothly when EWMH emerged, but that was another time and another forces behind
the community; just to mention that there were lots of competing *NIX systems
(BSDs/Solaris/etc.), and thus standardization and interoperability was more
important, but now GNU/Linux almost outperformed them all.

X11 is already a problem (for example, it doesn't allow drawing on foreign
windows and inspecting their content like WinAPI does), but Wayland is a total
disaster.
