So because it doesn't work for your workflow of scripts that rely on X, wayland is a step backwards and I must not be using my computer for much? Get over yourself.

My touchpad, touchscreen and apple magic trackpad work great for me, so this isn't a problem for me.

Wayland is power-user hostile. If all you do is watching cat videos all day long Wayland will be great for you.

Well, it actually do allows watching videos at all without tearing everywhere, which was not possible on X without a compositor.

It is obviously not possible on Wayland without a compositor either?
Wayland means moving backwards. It has the complete wrong philosophy and abstractions. If "sway" runs flawlessly for you you are not doing much with your computer at all. I can't work without my fine tuned synaptics driver configuration and without my over the years grown and perfected scripts using xdotool, dmenu, xsel, xcape, xcalib and many other tiny but useful x-tools.
