Mouse pointer movement (rather than click) to display update would be amazing to get too… including X11…

this is literally the only thing that ever mattered imo
Would you mind elaborating why? What makes it more important than other inputs?
Executing other actions isn't a feedback loop like moving the mouse pointer; for the mouse pointer you need the feedback from the system before you even get to an actual action. You can press keys on a keyboard blindly, if it doesn't matter where you can even click blindly, but you can't position the pointer blindly. It's closed loop vs. open loop.
