How does this work? https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/2484

Is it just basically a backdoor going through the hardware?

Is there some way that a compositor works with Linux security so that you need a special privilege or root or something in order to record the screen?

Using EGLFS instead of libDRM are two diffrent ways wayland compositors work, this argument doesn't work against sway because it only supports libDRM.
