Apple have not supported (i.e. shipped with the OS) X11 or Xquartz for some time now.
Note that the version of Xquartz from www.xquartz.com <http://www.xquartz.com/> is in fact just a packaging of the MacPorts version ! In fact, the maintainer of the Xquartz releases has stated that they may well no longer make releases there, and only maintain the MacPorts provided version (via the xorg-server port) going forward.
I have exclusively used the MacPorts port for a number of years now, and it works flawlessly, on all OSes including 10.14. I recommend switching to it, if you currently are running the Xquartz installer version.
