One problem with these is that using them breaks things like file open/save dialogs for modern apps which use some (DBus-based?) way of invoking those and expect a modern desktop environment to provide one.

Possibly the XDG portal nonsense. I've never had it break anything entirely, but I'm also used to no two file dialogs looking the same.
