I think, screen recording is ultra-niche, and I don't know why, I feel better when I know my OS is unable to do just that.

(As a side project, I am writting my walyand compositor, and I know that if it supports screen recording, that's going to be something certainly hacky and I can disable at compile time).

Do you not ever want to show someone something on your screen? For a bug report or to demonstrate a project you’re working on? Or do a screen share to ask for help with setting something up (which is admittedly a bit different from a recording but only in that it’s live)?

I can see a lot of non-techy people not knowing how to do this but among people who know how to do it I bet it’s above 50% who use it

I guess hackers from "agencies"/organized crime/etc do not use that but directly the display hardware.
