I figured it was a GNOME design choice.
That is interesting. In general, Wayland seems to be a great source of
pain and breakage. Does it have any large advantages? So far, I've only
experienced more pain in Wayland than joy, but maybe there are some
large advantages that are invisible to regular users like me.

Title:
GNOME desktop isn't a desktop.
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
In the major DE, windows & mac, the desktop is a desktop. It has files
on it. If you click on the desktop, focus goes to it, and ctrl+n will
open a new file browsing window (Mac Finder or Windows Explorer) and
ctrl+shift+n will create a new folder. If you right-click on the
desktop, you should be able to create a new folder, properties,
restore missing files, open in Terminal, etc. It's supposed to be part
of the desktop environment. However, in GNOME, the desktop doesn't
feel like a desktop. It's theoretically the directory
/home/USERNAME/Desktop, but in GNOME I can't start manipulating Files
(Nautilus) by focusing on the desktop with a click nor an alt-tab.
