When all current operating systems make the fundamental assumption of only one application window having “focus” at one time (even down to individual application elements having exclusive focus), how does having multiple cursors do anything other than massively cock-block everyone in control of a cursor?
I can see this as being nothing more than a Battle Royale for control of whatever UI element you are trying to interact with, while fighting off the control that other users want to have of other UI elements that they are trying to interact with.
In other words, a massively shitty hairball where everyone gets frustrated to the point of rage-quitting.
Edit: just try using a remote-access/remote-support software, like RustDesk, where each user (when more than one have access to a desktop) get their own cursor (even if you can’t see the other person’s cursor). You end up walking on eggshells trying to avoid the other person’s application/UI focus.
