“Wayback is an X11 compatibility layer that allows for running full X11-only desktop environments using Wayland. It is essentially an X11 server backed by Wayland, leveraging wlroots and Xwayland. Our goal is for Wayback to eventually be a completely drop-in replacement to the Xorg binary, thus reducing maintenance burden for distro maintainers.”

This is good. Hopefully it’ll be extremely slimmed down and allow for remaining X11 applications to keep functioning.
Seems like popping open WSL in a Windows VM running inside a Linux host
It is more like creating a Linux kernel deigned to run only WINE.
This project does exactly that, it runs a reimplementation of linux specifically to run wine on platforms that it doesn’t natively support. https://github.com/danoon2/Boxedwine
finally I can play Solitaire on my HPUX
A more apt comparison would be using the Windows guest to remote into the Linux host via xorg piping, waypipe, VNC, RDP, etcetera, which conveys your feeling of weirdness while being a closer approximation of what this really does.
