Why Wayland Is Better

X11 is a so called DISPLAY SERVER.

Wayland it not. Wayland is a protocol between Compositor and the Clients, there is not DISPLAY SERVER.

To be a DISPLAY SERVER, you need to be able to RENDER for clients. 

To be able to RENDER for clients, you need to DEFINE A RENDER API, which is a very bad idea

Wayland does not have a render api. you need to use OpenGL or what ever you like to render contents.

Wayland is not, so there's no way for it to display applications on other mathines.
