Xorg is essentially "mechanism not policy" in regards to development. It gives you a bunch of tools and then it's up to you do do whatever you want. Wayland is exactly the opposite. It's "policy not mechanism". Wayland gives you tools, but you're expected to use them in a certain way. It steers you and guides you to manage your windows in the "right" way. If you ask developers "why can't I do XYZ", you'll likely get an answer along the lines of "why do you need to do that" or "justify your usecase".
