org.freedesktop.portal.GlobalShortcuts allows apps to request a global shortcut binding from the compositor. They can’t just log all your keystrokes globally because that’d be a keylogger. Also there’d be no way to resolve conflicts between shortcuts.
If your app doesn’t support that then blame the app, the interface has been out for a while, and compositors have supported it for a while.
What is missing that makes it a deal breaker? It really seems odd to always see comments effectively saying “we should have stayed with X.Org”. The nice thing about Wayland is that it’s maintained, so new features are being added over time.
