Yes, one of their usual excuses for their own misdesign.

It would have made sense (as the *original* intention once had been) to
use it as DDX as well as for special applications - but not directly
for average applications.

The next funny excuse (eg. when critiziing the large amount of different
per-DE implementations, because it doesn't support window managers):
"Wayland is just a protocol" ...

It's also interesting how aggressive their fangroups are, even claiming
X11 would be already dead, completely unmaintained and no new
development. I happen to be a maintainer and doing active development,
even on new extensions.

Yes, Xwayland. But that means you're still running X, just using WL
as DDX.

Not at all viable replacement for just doing

    DISPLAY=remotehost:1 myapp
