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

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1274451

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

See

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.
