I was building a kiosk for my home assistant with my Raspberry Pi. It was very complicated to set up a cage compositor, set up XWayland, setup Chromium Wayland flags, libinput rules, and the touchscreen mapping still doesn’t work… am I missing something here? For X11 everything just works right out of the box…
I want a lightweight kiosk without any DE, and I think a cage would work just fine. Maybe I should use Sway to open a single maximum window instead? It seems more bloated than using xinit with a Chromium window, which defeats the entire purpose…

X11.
Unless you have a real reason not to use X11, why not just use X11?
Sounds like you’re missing a DE

with a Chromium window, which defeats the entire purpose…I know Valves game scope is a micro compositor made to display one window (intended for a game). But I don’t know if it’s applicable for you.
