Red Hat considers Xorg “deprecated” and will remove it in the next RHEL
Screen sharing seems to be a difficult problem to resolve. Zoom only just resolved this recently[1], Webex has been promising a fix for a while[2], and Skype still hasn't done anything[3].

If the device still works in the os and just not in skype. I would try the flatpak package. https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.skype.Client

Can we have an objective, non-FUD, user-centric comparison/discussion of Snap and Flatpak for 2021?
I have no idea if that is true or not, I haven't used Skype for more than a decade. But, an app running as a Flatpak can't directly create files in /etc/ even if that directory was exposed in the sandbox (which it isn't in the Skype flatpak, as you can see here), just like any other process running as a non-root user can't create files in /etc/ (unless your permissions on /etc/ are severely messed up). So if what you claim is true, it has nothing to do with Flatpak's sandbox or with portals. And since in the default configuration the pulseaudio daemon (which is running outside the sandbox) does not run as root either, I severly doubt that what you claim here is true at all.

This is the best way to play short of hooking up your needle printer as a faux teletype terminal.

I just like writing old code

Cathode-Retro: A collection of shaders to emulate the display of an NTSC signal
Seems like a good spot to mention https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term
Cool Retro Terminal is a nice accessory for when doing recording or screenshots - cause it looks cool. Can't use it as my daily driver tho.
And enough settings in there you can make it look like your favourite old one.

Does anyone know of a similar Windows equivalent to the now defunct Mac/iOS app "Cathode" ?
I'd guess most things you can get now are just regular command prompt style windows with a "retro" look (colour scheme). Oooh, you can change the text to green and maybe add a scan line effect. I am looking for a full experience like the Secret Geometry programs! The only similar-ish one I have found is Cool Retro Term, but that is for Linux and Mac only it seems :/

Cool Retro Terminal
I've enjoyed using this. I don't run it for long but I do run it sometimes for the sake of nostalgia. When I do run it, I run it in full screen for the complete experience. However, to balance practicality with nostalgia, I run a tmux session with the cool-retro-term, so that once I get tired of it, I can quickly switch back to my regular terminal without losing my terminal session.
The effects are configurable. I disable the settings named Burin, Glow Line, and RGB Shift to get crisper and less distracting experience. The RGB Shift setting is disabled for most built-in profiles anyway but enabled for some profiles like Vintage and IBM Dos. The Vintage profile is quite amusing. Everything is cranked way up. The blurry text and the incessant flickering of the screen create an unsettling impression that the monitor might break down any moment.
By the way, if you didn't notice it the app is named cool-retro-term and it abbreviates to CRT. The app icon[1] is also a CRT followed by the cursor. Guess what else abbreviates to CRT? Yes, "cathode-ray tube" of the cathode-ray tube (CRT) computer monitors
