why is BGR chosen over RGB in wayland?

They aren't. This is fanfic

Their point is the project that wants Wayland will randomly make changes like this on their Wayland code in such a way that breaks on X11. They say QTK as a reference to Qt or GTK

GNOME wants Wayland.

Meanwhile (just last week) GTK was broken on Wayland on some older Intel GPUs because of the Vulkan drivers. X11 was spared because the X11 backend still uses OpenGL.

Exciting stuff.

They also broke XWayland via a Mutter change that clearly wasn't tested at all given how quickly the bug reports started pouring in.
