It's a design choice rooted to the very origin of wayland. There have
been written many comments about it under the periodic bug reports
under mutter. Some polite, some less.

Right in the heart of the problem: GNOME doesn't have CSD default. Qt
by default draws some barebone window decorations (in the screenshot)
that don't have shadows.

KDE says you shouldn't. GNOME says not only you should, you must. It's
fair to just stick with not doing it, I was just wondering if we would
benefit from it in some way. If we don't, so be it.
