    Well, there is a Wayland Compositor for macOS:

    https://github.com/owl-compositor/owl

    It still lacks a lot of features though (I think, I never tried it out)

    > X runs on so many more platforms than Wayland [...] Python3 is strictly an improvement on every platform, I don't think they're analogous because there really is no good reason to keep Python2 around

    X runs on more platforms than Wayland because...it was ported to them. Just like things use Python 3 because they were ported to it.

    This is also understating the reach of X I think: it's widely used in the embedded world, is seeing increasing support in BSDs, and has even been used on macOS (https://github.com/owl-compositor/owl). People have even used it to embed an entire compositor inside a GTK app (https://github.com/alexlarsson/wakefield).

    That isn't to say that libwayland has a lot of Linux-isms in it, but afaik they're not really structural as much as there is lack of interest to generalize things more. Heck, the protocol-oriented architecture would even make it easier for anything Linux-esque to be removed in favor of alternative protocols.

    Yup, the Owl compositor implements Wayland on Quartz (the macOS graphics system).

    Thanks! FYI there is a wayland compositor for macos too, so it would be nice to be able to use that with linux apps in a VM...
