If so that seems like a great place for someone like Apple or Microsoft to offer an API to bolster security and privacy

OS X already requires that the user open Settings and give the app elevated permissions to be able to share the screen.

One can argue about the granularity, but you can’t argue that Apple hasn’t already done something.

Oh I don't mean to say they haven't done anything, they certainly have. I'm more wondering if there is a system-level privacy feature that they could provide (enforce?) where the system provides a screen share stream handle to only a selected window, similar to the Selected Photos functionality in iOS today.

"Doing something" seems like a really low bar when that "something" is basically useless for the intended use case.
