Wayland is a replacement for X11 in the same way that a tricycle is a replacement for a tractor.

They have thrown everything difficult out of the spec and only implemented the most trivial functionality around a security model which you must actively break to get actual work (like screen shots) done.

That Wayland is 10 years old and still barely usable should tell you how far software developers have fallen in the last 30 years.
