None of the toolkits (Motif, Tk, Gtk, Qt, etc.) could handle fractional scaling so if Wayland had taken the easy way out it would break every app.

Except for the fact that Wayland has had a fractional scaling protocol for some time now. Qt implements it. There's some unknown reason that GTK won't pick it up. But anyway, it's definitely there. There's even a beta-level implementation in Firefox, etc.

Why is Wayland trying to monkey patch something that's broken elsewhere?
