X11 is not gone yet, XFCE is working on wayland support, and in addition to that, there are projects that work on allowing X11 window managers to run on wayland.

XFCE just has not updated.

If this is a "linux problem", then what about android and ios? its a million times worse, but somehow thats a perfectly good situation for a consumer product?

There’s been no similar situation on ios or Android so your comparison doesn’t make sense to me

there isnt? then how come theres several apps I want to install on android 15 that isnt compatible with newer android because google removed/changed APIs?

you may just not have seen them, because other people work around them.
