They seem to operate on some demented notion of "security" where GUI
windows exist in total isolation from everything else, even in the same
user session - where even something as basic as the size/layout of the
screen(s) is Classified Information and windows will confine themselves
to their Designated Space and Refrain From Fraternizing even within the
same *application.* It's utterly bizarre - I'd call it the mindset of a
person who has never used or wanted to use anything but tiling WMs, but
that linked discussion thread even has developers of some tiling WMs
chiming in to complain that it's arbitrarily restrictive and weird.

Hilarious to watch them be all obstinate about how This Is By Design
and That Can't Be Done Because Security only to blink and back down
sputtering once it became clear that their goal of getting everyone to
join them in "the Wayland world" wasn't gonna happen otherwise. Great
show, guys, you sure asserted your Fundamental Rightness real good!
