Off the top of my head the tools that are either completely broken or
partially broken on Wayland that work fine on X11.

* Google Meet
* Zoom
* MS Teams
* Slack screen sharing
* Discord screen sharing

and then there are the various broken desktop sharing apps:

* TeamViewer
* AnyDesk
* Chrome Remote Desktop
* x11vnc
* many more

and then there are the various niche products for the developer community
with smaller communities but are nonetheless startups who see a market
opportunity:

* Pop (https://pop.com/) -- works only on X11 for now, seems they are
having issues with implementing Wayland, especially screen control
* Tuple (https://tuple.app/) -- they are building Linux support now, and
only on X11
* Pair-programming tools built into products like JetBrains IDEs

I don't think the user population represented by these and others is
shrinking at all -- on the contrary, it's growing by leaps and bounds, and
any one just the top 6 above likely boasts user communities thousands of
times larger than the data scientists who use rstudio-server and Jupyter
via browser.
