To be honest, I switched to Wayland years ago precisely because of the better perceived input/cursor experience.
Change my mind, but having an average of half a frame input latency is much preferred when in return I gain that the cursor position on the screen actually aligns with all the other content displayed.
Plus, I'm very sensitive to tearing, so whenever it happens I get the impression that there was a huge rendering error.
Well and on the note that the cursor might visibly stutter, sure. But it's a bit misleading. A game pinning the GPU to 100 % and running on 5 FPS doesn't mean that your cursor will be rendered with 5 FPS. So far I've only noticed cursor lag/stutters in OOM situations, but neither under heavy GPU or CPU load.
Same goes for high military spending.
I'm not a US citizen. But to me the US is known as "shoving a US Flag into your face at EVERY opportunity" and "overspending and gloryfication of militarism".
Those categories should've started out in the high-risk level...
