An alarming number of GNU/Linux distributions are not incorporating
XInput 2 support within their Emacs packages. Arch Linux and Nix, for
example.
This is typically an error of omission: despite enabling --with-xinput2,
they do not guarantee that the libXi headers are present during the
configuration process. XInput 2 support remains disabled.
Emacs binaries employing X11 extensions will continue to function on X
servers with those extensions absent, so there is no justification for
intentionally disabling XInput2 support.

(NixOS user here). I think this issue was fixed in Nixpkgs around 2
weeks ago:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/252721
I am not sure if the change was back-ported though.
