Its because everyone having issues is using X and likely 2 monitors with different dpis. On wayland its pretty much flawless unless you use 2 monitors at different scales and load an X application.

I only want to stress that the impact of this issue is very limited—at least for me. Most of the apps that I use run natively on Wayland and scale perfectly: Firefox (with some extra setup), Telegram Desktop, Alacritty, all GTK and KDE apps. The apps that do get blurry are the ones that are made by big companies for which Linux experience is not the first priority (thus they don't care about native Wayland support). Zoom, Chromium, Google Earth, Discord, Steam, Skype. I don't use them much, and when I do I try to keep them on my big (non-scaled) monitor, and it works fine.
