Imagine you want to scale your desktop at 125%. On X11 it was really hard to so so, and not very good. It basically worked by doing some strange tricks with the resolution, tanking performance and making it having numerous visual bugs, screen tearing or blurry fonts With wayland is possible to have fractional scaling without those issues. With crisps fonts, performant, and everything just working as expected. But wayland allowing for it doesn’t mean that all compositors have implemented it. Most still have issues. I think KDE was one of the fews that just recently anounced that they solved that problem and that you can scale the desktop without any worries.
