Another consideration are users with Nvidia graphics.

>From what I understand, GNOME Shell's fractional scaling support only
works with Wayland.

But Nvidia's proprietary driver doesn't yet support Wayland. Some may
argue the fault for that situation lies with Nvidia.

But this is nonetheless a regression from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, where the
default desktop (Unity 7) has fractional scaling support which works
with Nvidia's proprietary driver.

All that said, even for users without Nvidia graphics, I suppose the
regression (of loosing fractional scaling support) also exists given
that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, for understandable reasons, has gone back to
X.org by default.

Personally I'll probably be sticking with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for the
foreseeable future, due to this.
