This reads more like "How to ruin user acquisition at a critical time by being a stubborn jackass". There is no way just supporting the relevant X11 APIs wouldn't have been possible. Both projects live under the same foundation, it should be possible to make it so when an X11 application tries to record the desktop to pop up a notification in the Wayland shell like "App Z wants to record your screen, allow? [Yes] / [No]". If there was an actual project manager this issue would have been marked "critical" two years ago and fixed. Because actually supporting the software that exists today, and not theoretical future software, is critical for projects that seek to replace foundational OS technologies, e.g. Wayland. I'm not asking for Microsoft-level iron backwards compatibility, but not supporting Zoom during COVID is about the most braindead move I can imagine. Not that I expect anything to improve, I've been using Linux daily since 2005 and this is par for the course for the Linux "desktop".
