Yes, exactly. This security paranoia makes the devs' lives much more complicated. I have seen many apps turning off advanced features, such as screen color pickers. Automatation tools can be broken. Apps cant know their window positions, etc. You can see countless dev rants about Wayland and how it's generally unpleasant experience to work with.

Ah so that's why i cant use the chrome devtools color picker to pick colors off graphics editing software.

Makes me mad.

Yes, on Wayland the color picker can only pick inside Chrome window.
