Are you suggesting every application should implement its own compositor?

This style of engagement is so off-putting.

Help me out then. What value, to a window manager developer, is there in making it easier to create your own wayland compositor?

To use wayland?

They're suggesting that every Wayland window manager has to implement its own compositor. Because that is how Wayland works. There are no window managers, only compositors, and if you want custom window management, you write your own compositor.

And what value to window manager developers get from being able to implement its own compositor?
