That is the thing with Wayland, it is much harder to create a window manager for Wayland. IIRC, fvwm decided not to create a Wayland version due to the difficulty.

When Wayland replacing X, lots of cool window managers and mini applications will be gone.

This isn't wayland's fault. It's the compositor implementing wayland's fault for not exposing a window manager API. Nothing about wayland prohibits the creation of a window manager API.
