For example, it's vitally important that wayland resists adding features like title bars, window icons, resize handles, desktop icons, or mouse cursors. These frivolous features have no place in a serious desktop environment! They are only bloat!

...while also doing what users want and expect.

... while avoiding their tantrums which will most likely destroy that "clean and simple".

"tantrums" is when you expect windows to be delineated with borders apparently. You got the Wayland attitude down pat: are we the problem? No, it's the users who are wrong!

This does not concern wayland, this is a user choice, the choice of a wayland compositor.
