Yes. Show me how to make zoom screen sharing work without pipewire and prayer.
Since you edited your post I'll rephrase my question: Which desktop are you running where you can't figure out how to share your screen? Maybe some of the more tech-savvy folks here at HN can help you figure it out.
I'm building a compositor now, and I've been thinking about multi-seat from the beginning, but I know there are lots of places that assume a single seat, and so this sort of thing won't work for me. It's actually a lot more work than you'd think to support this...

It's an incredible hacky piece of software that does work by putting together like 10 oss. Incredible and cool.
They have some UX around this
cant read the entire article on ios because the left part is just somehow cut off :(
Same on Android, insane that people aren't validating for mobile in current year
Setting a minimum width that works on your screen is a bad habit that’s luckily mostly dead, in favor of responsiveness.
The more "typical" use for a feature like this is drawing tablets and touch screens. You don't necessarily want a touch/drawing tablet input to move your actual "main" mouse cursor.
Focus of controls is the hard part. You end up needing a Per-seat version of focus in an application.

I've always thought this was a cool idea. It's obviously been on the minds of Wayland protocol developers since the beginning, otherwise it wouldn't be possible!
Enabling in X works via:
xinput list # find second mouse id
xinput create-master second
xinput reattach "second pointer"
xinput reattach 'Virtual core pointer'
xinput remove-master 'second pointer'

Multiple mice is esoteric.

KDE plasma. go wild.
The fact you're griping about implementation details like pipewire makes me think you also tried micromanaging your env and broke something. If you use a fresh install and leave everything default, I'm sure it would work for you like it does for everyone else. I use KDE too btw.
