To offer the opposite viewpoint, I swear I've been reading for decades that X11 would fix old issues. My last experience of X11 (less than a decade ago) had me using vi to edit a configuration file to add a line of text to enable some sort of magical feature to stop screen tearing. I've been using BSD/Linux since the late '90's and this issue has persisted for over 25 years.

Wayland meanwhile actually has 99.9% of what you need working today not 25 years from now. There's some bits and pieces already progressing well and likely to be fixed in the next few weeks/months/years and not 25 years in the future. Very different situation to X11, IMHO.
