A key point is that X11 is no longer used for drawing; in recent years people are moving to client-side drawing (usually with Cairo). Thus the subset of X11 features that people use is similar to Wayland's features.

When people talk about client-side (really the toolkit) decoration, that's in the native Wayland case, so it is different from the way it's done today.
