X11 cannot handle two screens with different resolution scaling. For example.

This has been a nightmare for me. Windows has lot of trouble with mixed dpi/scaling too. The only OS that has handled this flawlessly has been macOS.

Oh yes it can; toolkits, on the other hand...

No it can not. I've seen some xrandr magic solutions but they have their own set of issues. So they are not a solution.

So it can :). I know of the issues you mention, but they are toolkit problems, since they also happen on Windows. And OS X.
