Until they have to share screen in a meeting and give up tweaking flags in different places, login using X and never look back again.

Seriously for anyone who works remotely sharing screen is essential, but it still doesn't work flawlessly in Wayland.

This was absolutely true, until I switched to pipewire. Once I did, this started to just work, with no issues whatsoever. (No configuration required, just followed Debian's package dependencies switching to pipewire and it started working in Firefox.)

So then, in other words, the default setup is still broken?

No, for many distros the default setup is now pipewire.

Screensharing works perfectly in firefox and given how awful linux versions of zoom, teams, etc are, that's all that matters

Just do real time video encoding of the screen and forget about X.
