My understanding is that Wayland is more versatile in the sense of how a LEGO set is more versatile than a molded toy. Yes you can do a lot with LEGO, but a LEGO brick is just a LEGO brick at the end of the day. Similarly, Wayland lets almost all the "interesting" bits be up to the extension protocols[1].
