Fixing X11's security would of broken window positioning as well. Since that is a security issue.

The deal here is that the only way to fix X11's security issues is by breaking all those types of workflows and forcing application rewrites to implement them in authenticated ways.

So if you are going have to go and break all that stuff, why not fix a crapload of other problems while you are at it?

Calling Wayland "X13" may have avoided a lot of misunderstandings, but it probably would of caused others.

Maybe it's both? There are applications with good reason that need to chose their location themselves, and users who want that type of behavior, so it's definitively not just a security issue.
