> This incurs in stupid behavior for all tiling window managers in wayland, as they cannot enforce the client to remove the title bar

But neither can X11 WMs really enforce in any way client to remove title bar. Of course the WM might refuse to render its own decorations, but it can't really deny the client of rendering whatever it wants.

True, but in practice nobody really has a reason to override the title bar, because it forces you to implement dragging and resizing behavior as well. People that do this know the pain. It also works poorly unless you do it at a pretty low level (within the toolkit itself).

The only program(s) that do this are chromium and firefox in my machine, and both can disable this because it doesn't look native.
