Fair enough, let me try to clarify my question. I had just assumed that all 
Unix systems (except macOS)
default to the old GTK front-end (when it comes to Emacs with GUI, that is) and 
I was wondering if the
expectation was that pgtk would mostly replace it right away (e.g. because of 
it's improved compatibility with
Wayland) once Emacs 28 is released.

AFAIU, you _have_ to specify --with-x-toolkit=VALUE at configure time;
there's no default.  If you don't specify it, you get an X build with
no toolkit.

Currently, if you don't specify it, you get the GTK+ build (assuming the appropriate development libraries are installed).
