Man... I've never even used anything but Xorg (I rarely use Linux; I just use it on a media server and I haven't needed to touch that thing in so long). This Wayland thing must be pretty good.

If everything is right, you won't notice any difference. XOrg is very old and insecure and Wayland isn't. That's the difference.

X isn't really insecure.

Isn't one of the problems with X that applications can log your keystrokes in other applications and record your screen? Obviously you shouldn't be installing compromised software, but who knows if Borderlands 2 now includes some malicious code in its DRM or something.
