Blink virtual machine now supports running GUI programs
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 Window System Basics
> 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.
