I don't care about any of those things, since computers are about productivity for me.

But I'm pretty sure at least half of them actually do work under X11, it's just that some UI libraries refuse to use it on the grounds of "X11 is outdated, I won't support features even though it does".

(also, having played around with DPI stuff on Wayland, it's pretty broken there in practice)

Well and others do care, and no, bunch of stuff straight up doesn't work on Xorg, or is jank fest.

Yep. I feel the same about all the various wayland compositors. Even 15 years on none of them have managed to implement accessibility support for existing linux applications. No screen readers support on any but GNOME's compositor and that doesn't work with existing applications; GNOME invented 2 new incompatible protocols that only their compositor works with (which doesn't work with existing applications).

No HDR or high DPI is an annoyance. Not supporting accessibility is real deal breaker. Especially for commercial settings where things like Americans with Disability Act compliance matters. And even more for me with my retinas slowly tearing apart and losing my eyesight: the entire waylands ecosystem is extremely inconsistent and buggy.

All of those are productivity things

I guarantee you spend more time "configuring" linux than actually being "productive" with it.
