Support for content type (both app -> compositor and compositor -> display) has
been implemented in 5.27. There is no reasoning behind it except for what I
already told you.

> Is there a known list of apps which change the content type on their own?

I know mpv supports the protocol, and Chromium developers have expressed
interest early on too, but there is no list.

I don't think it's preferable, as every low level option that we add requires
maintenance and adds to the confusion of users looking at the display settings.
The current options in there are justified because they're necessary to make
broken or imperfect displays work properly (adaptive sync wouldn't be a setting
if it didn't cause flicker on some displays, and overscan and rgb range are
historical problems that should've never existed), but content type is a very
different thing from those.

I'm open to adjust the current behavior to improve the user experience, and if
using the content type from fullscreen apps actually causes problems then
changing that or adding an option for it can be discussed, but I'd like to
avoid adding an option if it's not really necessary.
