Can someone ELI5 why some apps need to support X11/wayland?

Isn't this supposed to be a job for the window manager?

For example, my virtualbox install has some mouse pointer bugs on wayland, and I can't run waydroid on X. These things are weird to me. Shouldn't window managers abstract all that for the software we run?
