This is why there is no value in this discussion. You are making
assertions like this as if they are axiomatic.

It would be possible to redesign Wayland following the principles you
have described. No-one is doing this, however. We have carefully
considered the points you have raised over the past 14 years and
reached different conclusions. I'm sorry that Wayland is not the
perfect window system you envisage in your own head, but just
repeating your same beliefs that the design is fundamentally flawed
over and over, will not force us to change the design.
