    It records the screen without any restrictions and without having to ask for any permissions.

    Which is exactly the requirements you need to remote desktop access via tools like meshcentral, anydesk… I don’t understand this mentality of “X11 was broken!!!”. Yeah well Wayland is broken since it stops legitimate uses as well.

      No, there are remote desktop, screen recording, just in a secure and controlled way. Letting any application read your screen and snoop your keyboard without restriction may be convenient, but it is just horrible in so many ways. If your preferred tool doesn’t work under Wayland, it is most likely not because of limitations of Wayland (there are such cases, but they are getting quite rare) but because they haven’t implemented support for it.
