Yes, this is the conclusion I came to as well, from reading various
comments by the Wayland developers about how the new paradigm was that
end users are not allowed to know about frame-positions, since thatʼs
Old School(™), and they're New School(™), and normal people who like
to think in coordinate systems are WRONG!
(Iʼm paraphrasing :-) )

It would be nice if frame-positioning on initial frame-creation worked
correctly, since desktop.el does that (I haven't checked if thatʼs
true or not).
