They probably need Wayland to bridge/wrap GL or video acceleration to Wayland. Wayland probably doesn't need GL, because it does use another GL implementation and hardware video acceleration is probably not supported by Wayland at all, but maybe requires always Xwayland. Just guesses. A short research seems to confirm the guess related to GL. The same short research doesn't provide anything halfway clear related to hardware video acceleration.
