I'm not sure I follow. If an app needs to take a screen shot, the protocol needs to offer the necessary support to take a screen shot. How you take a screen shot securely? Enforce Android-style permissions on every app?

The portal stuff has been done n a desktop agnostic manner and any desktop can provice an implementation.
I am pretty sure that many smaller DE's will simply leverage the GTK/Gnome technologies. Others might wait for the Qt/KDE versions to mature. It wont prevent other desktops from existing, but it may stop them from constantly forking everything to their own name version as that might be too much work.

Personally, I find this useless, as Nvidia doesn't plan to implement Xwayland support for EGLstreams.

The hard truth is that desktops on X is horrible.
So while I appreciate the fresh, open approach, I do not understand the apparent urgency to migrate just yet.
