The primary argument is to avoid fragmentation sprinkled with some other not-well-thought-through points. Distros aren't rolling back to X11. That ship has sailed. You can either help move things along, or drag your feet and increase fragmentation - the thing being complained about.. Everything under the "security" section of this article is so unbelievably wrong, that I'm not sure if it's worth anybody's time to refute one by one.

I don't have a dog in this fight, I would be curious to know about the security stuff. Like is screen sharing a massive pain? Or is it "just" a prompt kind of like in the browser? Stuff like global hotkeys sounds unfun tho

  The problem with screen sharing is if you're trying to share a headless remote machine with nobody at the console to approve the request. I don't think there's a proper solution there yet (which worries me, that's exactly how I run one of my machines at home)

    Yeah seems like there should be _some_ mechanism in place, though I'll admit that it's not immediately obvious what that should be.

      Problem is that what is that mechanism that doesnt compromise security

    In my experiance you only have to do it once at least on gnome

  Its literaly a single prompt that in some DEs is only shown once for one specific program. As someone who records a lot not a problem at all(screen sharing and screen recording are under wayland same thing) Global hotkeys yea not fun but not lot of software nreds that
