You can't even open application windows on Wayland without a protocol extension.
The core Wayland protocol doesn't do these things by design, but that doesn't mean end-users can't do them on Wayland compositors which support these use cases in the places that they're designed to be supported.

The end user doesn't care about protocols or compositors. The end user wants a system that can replace Xorg and do the same or even a better job. And, as of today, Wayland fails miserably at that.
