"Last time I checked it wasn't even possible to create something like xdotool without relying on some nasty hacks."

Well, there's ydotool for Wayland, but unfortunately it doesn't even have half the features of xdotool, and probably won't be improving much any time soon, since its README says "Since Jun, 2019, I have little time to maintain this project".

At this rate, it'll probably take another 10 or 20 years for Wayland to catch up to all the already-existing useful features of X.
