The wording of the parent comment - specifically "Wayland is a protocol fully designed around composition [...] There is no way to draw directly to the screen" - made me think that this is a case originally of idealism, that when seen to be naive, presses on into diseased dogmatism. Some people decide that for example 'composition' is the be all and end all, and all other aspects are secondary to it, or less. Therefore if useful functionality is dropped, so be it.

"if useful functionality is dropped, so be it." Seems to be the mantra of wayland.
