Wayland as a just protocol... Isn't that the same argument they used when it shipped without copy/paste or a screensaver?

It's not an "argument", it's just a description of what Wayland is. But no, the correct protocol has had copy-paste since day one, and I dont remember there being issues with screensavers.

In the metaphor of a web server and a web browser, Wayland would be the HTTP specification. What you're usually interested in is what server you're running, e.g. GNOME's Mutter, KDE's Kwin, sway, niri, or what client you're running, e.g. Gtk4, Qt6, etc.

Wayland don't support screensaver and clipboard is managed by portals no?, idk why the complain tho, no one uses screensaver and clipboard being managed by a portal dsounds more logical than creating a protocol for that
