The idea is that to worry about security in something broken by design is a folly.

Right, the idea of running hostile programs on your system is broken by design, Wayland is engaging in folly by trying to protect against it. X11 gives up that pointless quest and, by doing so, at least it can provide some extra user-assistance features (including ones that can help mitigate security related user errors).

Are you posting from seL4, OpenBSD, or Genode?
