I'm not really convinced it was. Frankly, Wayland does a great job handling the tasks I want my display server to handle. I don't have to wade into config files every time I plug in a new HID, or a new monitor, and my touch pad is a joy to use.
I think how screen sharing works is actually very dependent on the system in question ( I want a different set of prompts on my desktop from my laptop from my server), and that leaving that complexity out of the display server was a rough, but correct, decision.
That said, I'm with you - I held off on Wayland for a long time because screen sharing and screen recording just weren't there. At least for me, Pipewire is now a working solution. I won't go back to X.
