The one that got me with them was when they banned third party screenshot tools from using the default screenshotting hooks. They cited security concerns, which is valid as it stops malware from hijacking this, however rather than adding the ability to add to a user controlled allow list (or any other potential workaround) they just rejected working with anybody on fixing this issue. Instead it came off as a transparent attempt to push their own screenshotting tool.

    Isn't that hook used by Zoom for screen sharing? IIRC Zoom on Linux only worked on GNOME because Zoom's screen sharing implementation was to call GNOME's screenshotting hooks 30 times per second
