Every time I read about Wayland compositors, I find myself thinking the same thing: don't Wayland compositors have too many responsibilities?

My understanding is that Wayland compositors have fewer responsibilities than either an X11 window manager or X11 compositor despite doing the job for both.

Maybe. But X11 was an unmaintainable mess that was mostly abandoned by its own devs so we get what we get.
