>Nope, you got it wrong. Take virtual keyboards, for instance. Currently they are not possible in Wayland because it has been decided that the compositor should not touch input in any way, applications receive it directly from the kernel. This decision effectively locks down _all_ applications, even those for which input integrity is of no use.
And that's good. You can implement a virtual keyboard right way, by writing a CUSE driver. This way every app in the system will be able to access it. Or you can extend the compositor to do this.
