Wayland still doesn't support screensavers last I checked, which is wild to me. Truly bizarre that such longstanding feature is just absent.

It's a matter of designing and proprosing a protocol for it. X11's screensaver support was also a protocol extension.
There probably hasn't been much interest in it because screens can easily be powered off remotely, which was not the case in 1992.
