Tbh, if that were the case I would expect much faster progress.

The reason Wayland progress is slow is not technical. We have a coordination problem, people have differing priorities and views on what should be allowed.

There are people opposed to things like a allowing windows to specify their own bounds, and unless all the stakeholders agree to implement such protocols in their respective projects, the ecosystem will remain fragmented. Multiply this against every feature that people want.
