Screen sharing has been working fine for years now. Chromium-based browsers and firefox all “just works”, that is every electron-based app as well. Sometimes the latter may use a too old version of electron, but it’s just a website either way, or you can just update its dependency.

Was that a comment particularly to the Fedora sway spin or generally to some carefully crafted setup?
Completely ordinary setup, as is, both arch and nixos.

That hasn't been my experience. Last time I tried Wayland earlier this year it was a 50:50 chance screen sharing worked. I just gave up on it. X11 works. And I'm still pissed we went from centralized settings that work across WMs to completely different settings in every WM, with no guarantee what you want is even implemented. A bit less screen tearing (which I haven't noticed in X11 in years) and supposed security benefits don't seem worth it.
I hope Wayland doesn't stick around and it's successor is actually thought out and reasoned about real world use cases and cooperation.
