People have been asking for similar grab-type things since early on in Wayland, and there have been many proposals, but nobody has actually stepped forward to build such a permission system that would work everywhere and would not create additional security problems or would not severely overcomplicate things. It's not a simple thing to do, by any means. If you think you know how, I would urge you to get started designing it and contributing it to some of the major Wayland implementations.

I don't really want to be in the business of growing wheat or baking bread if what I actually want is a sandwich but I will happily explain why ___ sandwich shack is doing it wrong because Monday morning quarterbacking is more fun.

I get that, but everyone else also seems to have that attitude, so you see why it doesn't really get done when nobody has any wheat or bread :)
