For Wayland I believe the currently accepted way if doing screen sharing is through xdg-desktop-portal which has a backend for wlroots and a bunch of other common compositors. I have gotten this to work fairly decently with Firefox at least, but some things are a bit hacky.

The developer channel version of WSL2 comes with Wayland, which might help push adoption a bit. https://github.com/microsoft/wslg
It is a technical certainty AFAICT. If this has not impacted you, it will some day :)

I get your confusion, there is one screenshot API that abstract the compositor but it lies in xdg-desktop: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/master/da...
The portal for xdg-desktop takes care of the implementation and is the responsibility of the compositor.
It's already used by Flameshot for example.
There is several xdottool equivalent as well:
