Well, you're choosing the least popular (non-systemd) approach, and also skipping elogind. This stuff JustWorks on systemd based systems, so your blaim is inaccurate.

At LEAST read the docs for your distro:

Where do you think I found out about the necessity to install either of those things in the first place?

If Wayland only JustWorks on systemd-based systems that's not exactly making a great case for it, and this thread has plenty of other downstream stuff that it seems to upend as well.

I'm not trying to make a case for it, it's the simple the truth that systemd has simplified a lot of this behind the scenes work. If you'd prefer to stick to the un-maintained X server because you value your init system more, that's up to you :)
