To compare one of the most productivity-enhancing features of modern desktops
with "bloat" is somewhat beside the point, I'd say.  And implementing such a
key-feature surely wouldn't have made wayland "inflexible".  That's ridiculous.
 Thus, another "short answer" might be: the Wayland-devs didn't care or weren't
up to the task - despite a blueprint (XSMP) that's been around for more than 30
years.

And BTW: if I were a QT- or KDE-developer, I'd be _very_ cautious to point
fingers at others when it comes to "bloatware".   I hope you're wise enough to
refrain from asking for hard data.

Had KDE-, QT-, or wayland-devs solved this problem after 4 weeks or 4 months or
even a year, there wouldn't be a discussion at all.  
But after more than _4 years_ I guess some perhaps not so technical - but
nevertheless mostly constructive - comments are quite understandable.  
And in case you have opened a thread for this topic on
https://discuss.kde.org/: could you post the link, please?  Thanks.

Anyway - it's good that there is progress in this matter and that we've been
informed about it.  Thanks.
