because it's unsafe or something

It’s one of those bits that haven’t been done yet. The protocol extension is being discussed as there are a lot more different use-cases than one would think and a number of ways to do it. Wayland is great but nothing is perfect and this is one of its weaknesses: evolving it takes time as we’re afraid of getting it wrong.

Sure, it's hard to craft a perfect solution. However the status quo for a long time was that applications were doing it themselves. And Wayland took it away without providing a replacement.
