The ability to stop applications from keylogging you, secure and efficient screenshare, decent compositing, not to mention all of the cruft it’s obtained over the years that stops it from obtaining all of these. And, as a whole, Xorg is completely incompatible with multi-monitor setups - no fractional scaling, and no multi-monitor scales, as well as refresh rates as you mentioned.

All we should be using nowadays at most is Xwayland. You only get a pass for bare X if:

1. You need accessibility tools that don’t work on Wayland yet: github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/…/1046
2. You use some insanely old hardware that doesn’t support the appropriate in-kernel and userspace APIs for Wayland to function.
3. You use NVIDIA, and can’t feasibly use Nouveau.

Otherwise, get the fuck off of Xorg. The ecosystem has matured enough such that Wayland Just Works for basically everyone.
