Xorg is being phased out, but the X11 protocol is still available through XWayland.
I wasn't aware of this issue with KDE. Maybe I can take a look and try to fix it. Let's see how the AI usage policy evolves. I understand that the current policy is provisional and necessary for now. However, AI tools have made significant progress, and the code generated for this experiment is of good quality. It would be much easier to review the code and replace any questionable parts. For this experiment, I went with Vulkan. However, I also worked on an EGL implementation for ES2 some time ago, without using AI, so the rendering side is covered.
