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?

I rather run a single compositor, than run X that works as a fancy IPC doing nothing interesting and a compositor on top. Also, it is needlessly chatty as well.
