You can't fix a broken design and also maintain backwards compatibility.

Wayland creates and implements a new design, so yes things will need to be changed to work with it

Wayland is trash and the fact that we are fourteen years into its life (YES, FOURTEEN) and still can't get it working right is a good indication that we need to abandon it.

lol, I don't get why people keep using this argument...
All of these developers, companies, toolkits, DEs and various other projects have decided that it's easier to literally rewrite the entire Linux desktop than to continue hacking Xorg.
In fact they don't want to touch Xorg so much that they're willing to spend 14 years (and counting) replacing it.
And you see this as indication that Wayland is trash?

Yes, you can. Seriously, people act like Xorg is some immutable black box no one can touch. IT'S FREE (AS IN FREEDOM) SOFTWARE. FIX IT.

Go right ahead. Start by adding per monitor refresh rate.

I take from that that you are ready to volunteer to do this?
