>Wayland has existed since more than 10 years and it has still not been able to release a usable system.

Fedora has has it on by default for about 4 years now and its perfectly usable. I use it every day.

The problem is much more serious than you are explaining. While using X, on my main monitor, UI and text becomes so small I can not even read it or click the icons. I'm not talking about the window size, but the UI and text size. With wayland the app can switch from 200% scale to 100% scale as it crosses the window border. On X you must pick either 100% or 200% and stick with it on all monitors.



My display scalings aren't 100% and 200%, however. They're 125% and 160%.

Can Wayland handle this? If not, what's it really solving?

Yes.
