What about all the portals built by Redhat that allow kde and wlroots to tap into screen recording, audio, and soon even key captures? I get that Redhat doesn't actively submit patches to wlroots, but they also seem to be making stuff as open as seems reasonable.

As a Sway user, I haven't noticed anything that works on Gnome but not Sway, except for stuff like Zoom, which hasn't, until recently, used the portals.

wlroots & kde both have their own xdg-desktop-portal-*[1][2]'s, which don't seem to be built by Red Hat.

xdg-desktop-portal itself originates from Flatpak[3], which makes me think it's more like to related to Canonical/Ubuntu rather than being something RH drove.

You're thinking of Snaps which are a Canonical thing, RedHat has been heavily into Flatpak.

Link [4] that I sent you says otherwise. You should find some links to back your position.
