Thanks, this is an interesting point-of-view, and thinking back and re-reading the article, it seems you're right.

I'll have to say though, I find that particular definition of bare metal quite strange.

It's also a bit of a weird thing to describe. Native? Master? Normal?

"Nested" is more or less the de-facto term in Wayland-land for the child scenario (pretty much all Wayland display servers natively support a rootful child mode either as real feature or for testing/debugging, some even under X), but there isn't really a good word for the normal case.
