It's much more flexible than that. Wayland doesn't do a user lookup at all, or
rely on particular authentication files: it relies on filesystem permissions to
restrict who can access the socket.
You can grant access to the socket to whichever uid you like, or you can
specifically bind-mount the uid into a particular container. So it is more
granular, more flexible, but also more secure.</pre>
