This protocol lets Wayland client to ask the compositor to draw the cursor rather than the Wayland client drawing the cursor itself.
Seems like Mutter merged this support a week ago: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3668

No, apps are free to use client side cursor decorations if they want to. Games typically do for their custom cursors. Gnome may want to do this, I don’t know.
Also, this protocol is currently only supported in GTK4. Wayland clients using GTK3 don’t have access to it. Chromium uses GTK3 but they added support for it outside of GTK. I don’t think Firefox supports it.
The giant cursor will keep tormenting me for the foreseeable future.
