> It doesn't change that this impacts usability, and a lot of software will need significant updates to accommodate these limitations.
Yes, software needs to be updated to work with Wayland. Though, I'm not personally using a lot of software having global hotkeys, and I can configure global hotkeys in my compositor when needed.
> As I understand, xdg-desktop-portal is one competing mechanism among several.
It's the most widely supported mechanism. Works on GNOME and KDE, and support for Sway (and more generally wlroots) is WIP.
> I don't understand... by "a common interface", how would that differ in concept from the X11 protocol?
In the X11 world, all WMs didn't have to agree on a screen capture protocol.
Note that there are discussions in progress to improve communication between Wayland compositor writers.
