I personally never got that point, because when you multi-screen, wouldn’t you specifically want two of the same model anyway because of color correction, fps and such? I know you can calibrate two different displays, but that will only get you so far and they’ll never look/feel the same.
I am sure there are use-cases for this, but how common is it that somebody needs this feature?
What’s much more common imo is connecting a laptop to two entirely different displays and mirroring the output and I had huge issues with Wayland in the past where it would just show half of the screen on either one, depending on resolution. Not sure if I did something wrong, but had to switch to X11 to make it work.
Clearly you never had multiple screens with different dpi values.
Actually I have ! When I started this setup all I had was a bunch of reclaimed screens and the specs were all over the place.

That’s the thing: you shouldn’t need to get identical monitors for technical reasons. And Wayland is much closer to that goal.
