gst-plugin-pipewire is an optional package, but gnome-shell should depend on it.

Additional info:

* package version(s)
gnome-shell: 1:42.1-1

* config and/or log files etc.

There might be a small misunderstanding here. Previously, gst-plugin-pipewire was a hard dep, but this changed here [1] to make screencasting optional. This was on purpose [2]. In other words, if you need screencasting (screen recording) functionality, you are meant to install the optional deps that mention "screen recording" i.e. gst-plugin-pipewire and gst-plugins-good. Hope that helps.
