      By that logic, is the compositor working any different than a trojan? Is there really a difference?

      The Wayland compositor is always capturing all your keyboard and mouse as well. No permissions asked. Pretty sus.

      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.
