X also has awful touchscreen support. When you use a touchscreen, you are just dragging the cursor around with your finger. In Wayland, touch support is what you'd normally expect (e.g. dragging scrolls pages instead of selecting text).

This is configurable[1]. I am writing this from a laptop with a touchscreen using X. I can use the touch screen fine and _browse_ Firefox with it and don't select text.

X has decent touchscreen support, but it sucks at dealing with multitouch gestures, especially on touchpads rather than touch screens.
That's configurable in X and I've never had this issue.
exactly, you can go back and forth in firefox using your touchpad and i thing that very practical
