> The problem is all the heckling for everyone to switch to Wayland

No one’s making you switch and Xorg is as open as it ever was. X is dying, slowly, that’s just a simple fact of the universe.

> Plenty of WM makers have just straight-up said they won't ever port their WM to Wayland

There are plenty of up and coming WM makers willing to produce suitable stacking and tiling WM/compositors. Active projects exist today.

> You mean like how X clients can read keyboard inputs?

No.. how every X client has global access to all of the X state of every client and how the only response to this are extensions that no one really uses for well established reasons.

> you need to sandbox every app anyway - at which point your sandbox should just interdict the X interface.
