Absurd ideas like "applications shouldn't be able to spy on or manipulate each other without explicit permission from the user".
I'm not sure about the modern state of Wayland but last time I saw it the situation was terribly messy and I was forced back to X11 because I rely on screensharing to do my job properly.
Wayland screensharing has worked for a long time. I remember using it early in the pandemic when the entire working world seemed to move to Zoom/etc for meetings. So, at least ~5 years?
Screen sharing sometimes works. Sometimes doesn't. For example: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1ebwaz4/is_wayland_scr...
There are countless such threads. Something that always worked perfectly out of the box now has endless workarounds per compositor/desktop system that you use.
I RESOLVED IT by using the x11 protocol
That's the whole reason for Wayland's existence: such things were not "easily" possible...
Linux+Xorg desktop would be hopelessly insecure for ever because these security features were deemed too hard to the point of not being "worth it". So Wayland was started.
Someone is developing XLibre, and Xorg fork. It may be pulled off, but I doubt it. Making Xorg safe was tried many times for many safety-holes.
People keep repeating this claim over and over, but in nearly 30 years as a Linux user and tech news reader, I've seen exactly zero news articles about an epidemic of Linux keyloggers.
