Consumers mostly expect their computers to actually work, these days. They neither know or care about what "a viable driver model for the 2020s" is, they want screensharing to not break every other month.

You all really just drive home your ignorance when you say stuff like this. Screenshotting has never regressed to my knowledge, once it began working, in any wayland DE. I use Wayland. Every damn day. I make a lot of money doing software engineering. All day. I screen share all day.

  Screenshotting != Screensharing The last two jobs I worked in was in linux-heavy devops departments. The Wayland users are having far more trouble than any of the X11/Mac/Windows users, and probably more than all of them combined. Maybe it is possible that all of them are just "holding it wrong", but if Wayland is that easy to break, it's still a no sell for me.

    I'll send $500 to a charity of your choice if you can show me booting current Fedora, firing up GNOME or KDE and failing to take a single screenshot. Same offer if you can do Sway and grim. And running an X11-only abandonware screenshot tool doesn't really count whenever they tend to ship with supported tools. And knowing how all this works, it's exceedingly hard to imagine screensharing working, but not screenshots (it would mean you have managed to get dmabuf+pipewire working while somehow having XDG Portals misconfigured badly enough to somehow only break screenshots. It's contrived to the point of being a condemenation of the distro in question, if it's actually even a real scenario.) I've been taking screenshots in Sway for longer than I can remember, GNOME and KDE have supported the same screenshot interfaces for literally years. (Unsurprisingly, I also send dozens of screenshots to the work chat or coworkers on a daily basis. I've been using Grim since I went to Europe over 5 years ago. Same program. Same hotkey binding. Same PNGs dumped into a dir.)

      Please go back and read again what I wrote. I never talked about screenshots until you brought it up. You're literally tilting at windmills here, I'll just leave this conversation.
