One of the problems here is that several very useful GUI applications
which have always run as root don't have alternatives to replace them,

Excuse my language Bodhi, but bull shit. You actually can run wayland
apps as root just fine. It is only X11 apps running under wayland that
no longer run as root, and the reason is simply that gdm3 fails to

says it should.
