This has a few benefits one of them crucial for proper operation: - The primary output will be based on the largest area that is actually visible to the user. Presentation and frame done events are based on this state. This is important to do since we cull frame done events. If we happen to be in a situation where a surface sits mostly on output A and some on output B but is completely obstructed by for instance a fullscreen surface on output A we will erroneously send frame_done events based on output A. If we base things as they are in reality (visibility) the primary output will instead be output B and things will work properly. - The primary output will be NULL if the surface is completely hidden. Due to quirks with wayland, on a surface commit, frame done events are required to be sent. Therefore, a new frame will be submitted for rendering on the primary output. We can improve adaptive sync on completely hidden but enabled surfaces if we null out the primary output in this state. - The client will be more likely to choose better metadata to use for rendering to an output's optimal rendering characteristics.
