Honestly most people are just being lazy about it. You don't even need to prompt the user if you wanna allow everything by default. You just need to implement the screenshots, screensharing, and hot keys APIs. All 3 are super simple.


Then we also hit the question of who we're talking to/about. If you want to tell devs that they should implement a handful of general, simple APIs, that's probably fair. (Please start with the GNOME devs.) But some of us are just users explaining why Wayland doesn't work for us; even if we wanted, we can't fix it.
