If the issues are trivially resolved, why did the authors of X decided to abandon X? If the issues could be resolved, why were they not resolved? I am using wayland for more than 5 years now, it just works. X did not. Xscreensaver/lock screens on Qubes are still broken.

What features is Wayland the protocol missing to allow supporting Xfce?

They convinced their employers Wayland would be better?

Most people aren't nation-state-level targets and don't worry about security to that degree. But they do like global hotkeys.
