Emerge kde-cli-tools

[NikosAlexandris]

Dears, before filing an issue, is the following expected?

root in ~
❯ eix -s kde-cli-tools
* kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools [1]
     Available versions:  (5) 5.15.5^t (~)5.16.1^t
       {X debug +handbook (+)kdesu test}
     Homepage:            https://cgit.kde.org/kde-cli-tools.git
     Description:         Tools based on KDE Frameworks 5 to better interact with the system

[1] "kde-kit" /var/git/meta-repo/kits/kde-kit

and

root in ~ took 9s
❯ USE="-wayland" emerge -av kde-cli-tools

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Why is `wayland` required?

This seems to be a "problem" for emerging various packages. For example, I cannot install `kde-plasma/systemsettings` as it ends up with the same `wayland` related requirement.

I will file a ticket as I cannot understand the nature of the problem, nor I can find anything related on the web that is clearly related.
