> The infrastructure is already there, for 3rd party apps to request these abilities (with the user getting the choice of following through, or denying the request), e.g.:

Why can't the infrastructure include the user simply allowing the app to continue to have access without a specialized infrastructure of app request (that requires updating the app)?

> really just 3rd party apps that haven't been updated

What's with the downplaying "just" again? Have all the best or most popular apps been updated to ensure no disruption?

> screenshots/screensharing was never a "feature" of X11, it was a big security hole abused as a feature.

So what was the screenshot feature of X11? Also classifying use as abuse isn't that honest, only the lack of security is
