(Get the code!)
I am afraid that this is a Wayland security feature and that it is not going to be removed just because some users don't like it or don't understand why it is there. As a workaround you can just carry on using Xorg, but under Wayland the program has to be adapted in order not to run the whole program and GUI as root but rather just the specific things within it that need that.
I'm not sure that there actually is anything the Ubuntu people can actually do about this though unless they hack at Wayland and make it less secure. If you want to change Wayland then file an upstream report about this. Ubuntu is really just packaging and redistributing this stuff.
