It appears neither X nor Wayland can figure out my monitor's subpixel order:

$ xrandr --verbose | grep Subpixel
 Subpixel: unknown
 Subpixel: unknown
 Subpixel: unknown
 Subpixel: unknown
 Subpixel: unknown

$ weston-info | grep subpixel
 subpixel_orientation: unknown, output_transform: normal,

Yet Xorg is using subpixel rendering showing in the screenshot of comment #1. Sounds like someone is just guessing HRGB when run on Xorg, and refusing to guess when run on Wayland (hence using the safe default of greyscale which appears more blurry).
