From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

And distros have basically moved to Wayland as well, which probably is worse when it comes to stuff like that.
I boldly assume that Wayland is simply incapable of providing multi-seat functionality.
I don't know why you're being downvoted because basically we don't know. It mentions that it's supported but there's no info about how to do it and no compositors or WMs that implement it, so... yes, technically there's no support for multiseating at the moment. If anybody can point at one that can do it in the way OP needs it I'll be glad to stand corrected.
