Indeed. Especially since TCP-based X would require that you stall operations if you drop a packet so that draw-ordering is preserved.

If you want to optimize for choppy networks that have too much packet loss for interactive TCP applications , then the current X11 is not a good fit. But that would be a whole different niche.

Could have sworn that there exist multiple takes on extensions for that, but none that has been rolled into Xorg proper. This either because lisencing, or because the current devs have GPU stars in their eyes.
BTW, it is downright funny how just about every Gnome guy i have encountered online seems to come across a pedantic grump. that would not know a joke if it fell on his head...
