As mentioned in hackernews this is likely because their app is based on a private Gnome d-bus screensharing API.
Their app is really bad. The good news is that their screen sharing based on gnome's private screenshot API should stop working altogether as Gnome 41 is securing those APIs.
Their webapp is quite bad as well though and behind in features especially on Firefox on which, for whatever reason, there's no gallery mode.
There is also this comment:
That's not really a big deal, you could just develop a small shim for that d-bus API if you really needed to. But I agree, it would be better for them to switch to Pipewire.
for whatever it's worth.
Screensharing has been proven to work on Fedora Silverblue 34 with X window apps. Example of working apps:
Wayland applications can't be shared when Zoom runs as flatpak, with or without this change.
