It wasn’t finished and final about one or two months before. They were discussing the global shortcuts portal for about 10 years, with different portals and revisions, and they just couldn’t agree on. Now its official and final recommendation. Some desktop environments used some draft versions, and everyone did it in a slightly different way, so that it wasn’t a real standard yet. And many other window managers or desktop environments didn’t even attempt it. Therefore many tools didn’t use the half baked portal and chaos everywhere.

That’s just complete made up nonsense.

That’s not how anything works. An API getting further refinements and improvements - almost exclusively in documentation - doesn’t make it “not final” or “not a real standard”.

Some niche WMs not suppporting an API doesn’t matter to most app developers.
That only took a decade to get done. Good job!
To be fair, it wasn’t the fault of Discord this time. The Wayland developers took their time, because they couldn’t agree (until now).
The global shortcuts portal is four years old.
