It is - kwin has been doing this for a long time, both on X and now on Wayland.
The problem is that the Linux desktop is composed of mostly open-source software. So people are going to make their own things, fork whatever you make, whatever. There's no one true "blessed" method like we see on Windows or Mac because that's literally impossible on Linux. There's no one corporation or entity strangle-holding the desktop to how they want it done.
