Hopefully forever tbh until a proper alternative to XWayland arrives:
XWayland is essentially the missing mid-level "Wayland client library" which fills the feature gaps caused by missing extensions of the underlying Wayland implementation and it provides a common and fully featured GTK/KDE-agnostic window managemnt layer. Until the Wayland project releases a client library 'for the rest of us' with a similar intent, XWayland is still very much needed for applications that don't want to or cannot link against GTK or KDE for various reasons.
