Fedora 41 plans to migrate the Anaconda installer to Wayland, remove X11 packages from GNOME, and reduce maintenance effort, following RHEL's decision to remove X.Org server.
VNC might have seen improvements over the years, but last time tried it, it didn’t handle high resolution/detail well at all. RDP can stream practically any media in close to real time, as to where VNC really broke down if you tried to change too much of the screen at once. Ideally, there’d probably be a new open screen sharing standard that used modern encoding and decoding to allow for high bandwidth connections smoothly. Moonlight gets close, but isn’t really designed as an RDP/VNC replacement.
In my experience moonlight is only really useful for playing games on a very fast connection. RDP on the other hand works well from even they worse connections
For sure, that’s what it is designed for. A proper remote desktop system would need to be able to support low bandwidth links and gracefully drop frames if latency is high or bandwidth is low.

It’s really just a codec issue at that point though. They COULD revamp, but why when you can just improve and make a new protocol.
