You can't fix a broken design and also maintain backwards compatibility.
Wayland creates and implements a new design, so yes things will need to be changed to work with it
lol, I don't get why people keep using this argument...
All of these developers, companies, toolkits, DEs and various other projects have decided that it's easier to literally rewrite the entire Linux desktop than to continue hacking Xorg.
In fact they don't want to touch Xorg so much that they're willing to spend 14 years (and counting) replacing it.
And you see this as indication that Wayland is trash?
Go right ahead. Start by adding per monitor refresh rate.
