I just don’t want to switch out my window manager and all the helper programs that make it work as a full desktop. Currently I just use LXQt+i3wm, and LXQt will take quite a while until it’s anywhere near feature parity with Wayland, and AFAIK i3wm doesn’t even have plans for a Wayland port (though I know that there’s decently similar tiling WMs for Wayland). I don’t think any of the oldschool low-resource-intensity desktop environments I’d consider using have a decently feature-complete Wayland port right now.
It’s possible that it’s not actually that much work to cobble together a new configuration with a Wayland-compatible tiling WM and a bunch of separate applications for screenshots, clipboard management etc., but I currently don’t care to find out.
