I'm not sure if I misconfigured something 10 years ago and it's stuck somewhere in my home directory, or what... I can't believe nobody else is bothered by this, even if maybe not as much as I.
(ed.: I should blind test myself, but unfortunately the sessions do differ slightly, i.e. I can recognise when I'm on Wayland :/ )
(ed.2: just got new external displays, they support 120Hz, maybe that helps...)
