Wayland is more focused on security. That onion layer right there will increase the complexity of usage. X11 doesn't have the extra abstractions to limit and prevent intrusive interactions with the desktop.

Example of this would be where "runas /user:smith application.exe" is simple but does not work when a Windows Service is required to run an application as the user signed in. One must use Window's API to pull in the account's token and use more API to execute "application.exe". UltraVNC is a great source to see all the extras needed.
