the current state of democracy in Cymru isn't what it was 'supposed' to be

Supposed by whom?

or what it was sold as

Sold by whom? When?

the vision of what democracy was promised to be

What vision? What promises?

You said:

I think it's a case of the author saying how things are supposed to be

Meaning that what the author said is how you believe things are supposed to be. I'm asking what happened to make you believe that things are supposed to be the way the author said.

What happened in your life to make you believe that things are supposed to be the way the author said? Or that they've ever been any other way than our uncomfortable reality?

they are public servants first and foremost, constituted and elected with the core purpose of improving society as a whole so that everyone benefits

LOL where did you get that idea from?

They are there to represent, enact, implement and deliver for the whole population.

No they are not. They are there to benefit themselves.

Eh?

What do you mean?

The render surface [is] handed out by the compositor

That's what I said. You're repeating what I said back to me.

It's not like games talk to the kernel and GPU driver directly to get graphical output

LOL that's exactly what they do.

there's a desktop environment they need to take into account

They do not need to take the desktop environment into account. They ask for a window and they render into it. They'll ask for a window using either the OpenGL or Vulcan API. Both those APIs abstract the windowing system away, the desktop is entirely irrelevant. Under Wayland, the compositor requests a buffer from the kernel, provides it to the game and then manages where on the desktop that buffer is rendered. The game's rendering is done directly (talking to the kernel and GPU driver) without going anywhere near either the compositor or the desktop environment.

The desktop environment means nothing when it comes to gaming. Except in so far as it may provide a GUI to configure aspects of the system that would otherwise be configured on the comand line or, for example by interacting with /sys.

This is why I asked what OP meant when they said KDE "supports" gaming better. Seems ridiculous. The desktop environment is not involved in game rendering. It has no impact. I'm mystified as to why people think it does.
