Just a heads up, you do understand that this is a feature , not a bug ?

That bug is 2 years old and marked as "Status: CLOSED WONTFIX" both with Fedora and upstream with Wayland

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Wayland_problems#Graphical_applications_can.27t_be_run_as_root_from_terminal

XWayland bug report (from 2015) https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91071

Bottom line: This is considered a part of wayland security and will not be resolved upstream. The upstream solution is to run graphical apps from the menu, not the command line.

Up to Ubuntu how to "resolve" this "problem" but Fedora decided 2 years ago to work on the grahpical tools.

xhost is a work around for now and will remain so as long as apps have xwayland support.
