LOL. Hard to believe people still fall for this. If you are having some sort of issue, I would work on fixing that instead turning off these settings. -

That is a great option for compatibility, but in my opinion, that isn't the future. Xorg/Xserver is outdated with massive security holes and limitations built into the core design, which cannot be easily fixed. The reason Wayland exists is because it was apparent that no one had the resources/will to revamp Xorg, so it was basically put into a support only mode until it was eventually abandoned. Yes, X11Libre has taken up the mantal, but I don't expect to see anything from them other than basic support. -

I agree with your frustrations, but after nearly a decade of Wayland ideologs debating how software they don't write should work...its time to rip the band aid of X11 off and let Wayland sink or swim on its own. Its not like Linux can just fail at this point, so devs will flock together to find solutions. It is my opinion that a lot of these silly debates about things like window decorations take place because they can. People feel like they have time to have these academic conversations to "get it right." However, the conversation will change very quickly when the issue is "###### don't work." People will quickly find fixes once we are forced into that mode. I draw a parallel to the infancy of the internet going public in the late 1980s. It became quickly apparent that IPv4 really wasn't up to the task. The ivory tower response to the issues was basically "your doing it wrong, you shouldn't want that" while debating long-off solutions like IPv6. Then some rando cames along and invited NAT, the standards people saw it as an abomination and absolutely refused to include it. He didn't care, sold the product anyway under the name PIX, which he later sold to Cisco. It was not only a massive success, but it changed the entire concept of the internet, basically inventing the idea of public and privet addresses, which totally reformed the way the internet works. The standards guys were forced to adopt it once they realized it was impossible to put the cat back in the bag. -

Totally off topic, but... I have poked around with Ubuntu a few times, it works as expected, but I never was really into the ultra-minimalist UI. I much prefer Kubuntu! KDE feels far more at home to me than Gnome. Not just because it is more Windows-like, but because its approach of putting things on the screen to see, instead of hiding them and making you search feels so much more approachable.
