The Fractional scaling system they have for System Displays STILL causes blurring if you select anything fractional.
Probably a GTK/QT problem but still; you don't experience this on X11 version of the desktop which I often run at %125 scaling. (4k)
Additionally proton/game performance on Wayland was not better; in fact most games had frame timing stutter issues even if the framerate was above 60fps. Who knows when it will improve.

The same company that made that awesome performance menu could surely add a checkbox somewhere that says "Use Wayland on desktop mode". And surely it'd be disabled by default, because when a casual user has issues using tool windows in libreoffice, or when drag and drop between the two sides of the same dolphin window is broken, that's no good.

Xwayland incurs no overhead to speak of compared to Xorg for fullscreen apps (assuming the Wayland compositor can directly scan out client buffers, which all the main ones can by now) or windowed apps with compositing. Xorg could be lighter only for windowed apps without compositing, which hasn't been really relevant for many years.
