Yep. The compositor is the only party of the desktop stack that can read all keystrokes.
There is perhaps some yakking about getting a protocol in place to allow other programs to petition the compositor to register a shortcut, but expect Gnome to come up with one variant, KDE another, and then Gnome strongarming the rest into adopting their solution before promptly scrapping it as "imperfect".
Fuck that noise. If I have to I'll move onto a BSD variant that stays with vanilla X.org rather than let this buggy, user-hostile Wayland trash eat my desktop. I've already cut out systemd from my life, and if anything Wayland is even easier to get rid of.
