Why are they not using the protocol-level solution, is the pipewire way just simpler to implement? Also, why is the screen sharing fix just an extension and not part of the core protocol?
GNOME and KDE both support the desktop-agnostic xdg-desktop-portals which provide general desktop APIs and that's what most DEs are now converging. The portals including screensharing, input emulation and much more. The problem is that sway/wlroots doesn't want to support it as they're somehow vehemently against a D-bus dependency
Dunno. wlr-export-dmabuf-unstable-v1 exists for a while. And wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1. Last one implemented in Sway and Mir.
Kde uses kde-zkde-screencast-unstable-v1 which requires pipewire for some reason and Gnome seems to use unregistered extension.
