It provides the latest Wayland features, is highly customizable, has all the eyecandy, the most powerful plugins, easy IPC, much more QoL stuff than other compositors and more...

I tried the website’s logo/“home” button in the top-left and did go to the homepage, but also got an autoplay video - yikes! On mobile it’s a very jarring experience to have the whole screen start playing a video demo

also from wiki:

A Wayland compositor is a fully autonomous Display Server, like Xorg itself.
