But they're definitely clever enough to be using xdotool. Lol.

Wayland may not fit with everyone, which is fine, no one is taking X away from you. But allow the vast majority of users to have their scaling displays and multiple monitor setups, which is far more common than your requirements. I'm sorry Wayland hasn't come far enough yet to cover you as well, but it's far enough for the vast majority of users. You bring up xdotool in everything thread as if it's something that Grandma uses Linux for. It's not.

> And BTW, this all presumes that a distro installs Xorg at all. If not, you've gotta dive into the package manager, which adds an additional barrier since you need to know what to look for and install.

So be honest what you're arguing for. You, as an accomplished unix user, want distro defaults to be tailored to your use case. That's not what distro defaults are there for.
