Is it possible to add this feature?
You are probably using Openbox as a window manager which does not provide this feature.. Replace Openbox with Xfwm4 (window manager of Xfce) or Kwin (window manager of KDE Plasma). See: https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/ConfigWindowManagers

Problem with maximized window with two or more displays
I don't know your issue as I can't quite picture what you're describing sorry, but it does remind me of some issues with openbox (eg. https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/1704). Swapping out openbox as the WM will resolve the issue.

Why do popular distros treat any of their "KDE Editions" or flavours as second class citizens?
Yes, but also it relays on KDE, at least a little bit.
- Does anyone think wayland will actually be the future?
-
Replacing xscreensaver lock with xsecurelock?
I found this LXQt wiki page, ConfigScreensavers, so I tried the provided suggestions:
-
lxqt and screen locking
Configuring lock_command should work. See more on https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/ConfigScreensavers.

Here's what your typical Linux system looked like in 2003. We've come so far.
There's also a Wayland WM directly inspired by ratpoison! https://github.com/project-repo/cagebreak

Actually functional compositors, and querying their protocol capabilities : mirroring screens
That's true for a lot of libraries, you have to maintain the code, I would treat that as a fact of life, It might be worth noting there are some projects designed to provide a high level abstraction over wlroots which might be different: cage -> used by cagebreak phoc -> used by phosh and wayfire -> used by swayfire.

cagebreak as far as i can tell is a one man project (it uses cage to provide a high level abstraction over wlroots).

Writing a Wayland compositor is MUCH harder than it should be
I also remembered cagebreak (wayland window manager). it uses cage (which is defined as a "wayland kiosk" but might also be used as a high level abstraction over wlroots).

EXWM and Wayland
Anyway, like you I also wanted to see how far I could go on Wayland. After trying out a number of wms I settled on cagebreak which is modeled on ratpoison. It's still in early development but worked well enough for me to give it a semi daily driver status. It works really well with emacs too, without the single-thread issue. I went for a pure Wayland experience (without XWayland as well), so I couldn't some apps I normally use - but I was able to create something quite close to my xorg setup.

Wayland alternatives
There's cagebreak, wich is inspired by ratpoison. It's different yo hlwm, but it has the same concept of containers, but every container only have the "max" layout
- Cagebreak: A Wayland Tiling Compositor Inspired by Ratpoison
What are some alternatives?
docklike-plugin - A Dock-like Taskbar Plugin for XFCE
sway-borders - Fork of sway with some extra features, mainly related to borders.
wayfire - A modular and extensible wayland compositor
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
mutter - Read-only mirror of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter

wayward - Fast desktop shell for wayland and weston.
dash-to-panel - An icon taskbar for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash into the gnome main panel so that the application launchers and system tray are combined into a single panel, similar to that found in KDE Plasma and Windows 7+. A separate dock is no longer needed for easy access to running and favorited applications.
Hyprland - Hyprland is a highly customizable dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.
