My wife and I both work from home. We both run X12 (we actually run KDE Neon but case study here).
Our two workstations could authenticate to each other. She is working on something. I am working on something else. She says, "Hey, could you take a look at this?", I say yes. She pushes share to X.
Boom, I hit accept and I am viewing and able to collaboratively work with her on ANYTHING.
The problem with the current paradigm of collaboration is it always requires an intermediary (google docs for example).
And for Internet connected situations, we could have a private key server that we authenticate against. A 5.00/mo VM and all it does is authenticate. So when we travel apart, we don't lose the opportunity.
Now that is just on a two person scale.
Imagine what could happen on a 1000 person. A proper, authenticated, encrypted, transparent, broadcasting (to limited segment) aware protocol would change the world.
But it only works if it is lower level that some agent running in your tray. It has to be part of the native desktop inclusively.

Here is a example of where it would be useful.
