It doesn't need to be. The goal is not to recreate and be compatible with X11, otherwise it would defeat the idea to create something new. Wayland is here, because it needs to do things differently. It's the same as Linux operating systems will never be ready for every Microsoft user. And that's okay.
Sure, but I don't think that's an excuse for things like global hotkeys not working.
I guess that is why global shortcuts were added as an xdg-desktop-portal extension.
Do you use Debian? I find a lot of the biggest Wayland opponents are running software from 3 years ago and have no idea how Wayland works today.
