Agreed! Currently the pixman renderer is always built into wlroots, and the
GLES one is optional. I have a half-baked patch locally to build wlroots
without the GLES renderer and I just verified that the Cage compositor works
fine with the pixman renderer being the only one built into wlroots [1], so
I will be sending a patch in the next days.
 
Cheers,

[1] Some compositors explicitly try to use the GLES renderer, and because so
    far Cage is the only one in the tree that depends on wlroots, I wanted to
    make sure adding the option to disable building the GLES one will work as
    intended :)
