    I wonder if you took all the development time that went into the fake way, and put it into the real way, would the real way be finished by now?

      The “real” way needs the corresponding Wayland protocol in order to work. The protocol is under development/review, but involves a lot more moving parts that requires coordination and approval from multiple people. This “fake” way was able to be implemented faster and by fewer people as a stop-gap measure
