So that software that doesn't use a Wayland-supporting graphics
toolkit can still be run on a system running Wayland. Most distros
package many programs that will probably never be rewritten to work
on Wayland directly.

My assumption is that there's some magic that allows separate X
program windows to display in separate Wayland windows while still
sharing the same X server, like Xming can do on Windows.
