I remember TouchEgg too, I did use x11 for a few years. The experience back then was not comparable to an iPad, but the modern Wayland session is.
If you're going to fight over edge-case consistency, then at least be consistent. People build iPad apps with horrible custom widgets that block context menus too. They run "real" software in QEMU and iTerm that truly has no support for any of their default HIDs. Linux has more software to support, by nature it's going to have the larger number of inconsistent experiences. I don't think that's a fair basis of comparison, though.
Strictly speaking, I think KDE and GNOME's Wayland stacks are the closest equivalent to the Quartz Compositor on the market. I don't really know any other stack that comes close.
