But in the real world, users use applications that are not KDE or even Qt
applications (or ones that use old versions of Qt that will never natively
support Wayland, or old versions of other toolkits in the same situation,
such as GTK 2, for that matter). Even if they use the most recent version
of, say, GTK, there will always be differences in interpretation of the
Wayland specifications which lead to interoperability problems (e.g., both
GTK and GNOME Shell deliberately refusing to support server-side window
decorations on Wayland, but also genuine interoperability bugs that can take
a long time to get fixed such as this touch input bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452967 that was finally fixed 1½ years
after having been initially filed and sent back and forth between KDE and
GTK bug trackers). So in the real world, there ARE interoperability problems
that you just cannot argue away. What real users (will) use is NOT "just KDE
Plasma".
