> I am struggling to find any use cases where GNOME's VNC should be
preferred to RDP.

1) Teacher screen broadcasting to students. There, a shared VNC session
is much easier to setup and performs better than separate RDP sessions.
Additionally, encrypting e.g. 10 RDP streams comes with significant CPU
strain, which is unnecessary in this use case.

2) The remote support use case. To help a remote user behind NAT, I only need 
to ask them to run `x11vnc -connect my-ip`. On my side, `vncviewer -listen` 
accepts the request for help.
GNOME VNC could easily support that. But there's no `xfreerdp -listen` option 
in the RDP protocol.
So in the RDP solution, the very frequent and significant "remote support" use 
case is completely ignored and we need to switch to teamviewer or anydesk 
instead.


It's understandable though that if upstream GNOME neglects VNC, downstream 
Ubuntu will also do the same. And such decisions are why there's a growing list 
of users that can't use GNOME at all anymore...
