If everyone appears to be missing something that's so easy to understand and implement, perhaps they're not missing it. They could have a different security/threat model than you're using. They could be expressing frustrations with being forced to manually approve something every time. They could be hitting dumb bugs in the implementation. There could be different people clamoring for more security and less intrusive security.

Honestly most people are just being lazy about it. You don't even need to prompt the user if you wanna allow everything by default. You just need to implement the screenshots, screensharing, and hot keys APIs. All 3 are super simple.
Then we also hit the question of who we're talking to/about. If you want to tell devs that they should implement a handful of general, simple APIs, that's probably fair. (Please start with the GNOME devs.) But some of us are just users explaining why Wayland doesn't work for us; even if we wanted, we can't fix it.
