Nothing about Wayland limits us to Linux. We try to think more broadly,
wlroots supports FreeBSD for example.

Even without that, it's just about making the right design decisions.
The Wayland protocol is used to communicate about the cursor, and it
will be rendered by the compositor. The client and compositor already
speak Wayland to each other. To me, the ownership over this information
clearly lies in this relationship and using side-channels to communicate
this information is a bad design.
