I’m not entirely sure. It could be similar to HDR support (only available on Wayland), but I would need to look into it to be completely sure.

I’m pretty sure you can disable caps lock (or at least rebind it)

I currently have caps lock rebound to backspace. Maybe it’s a Wayland only feature and you’re using x11? idk

I wish.

My father currently works in IT and has “smart” everything (except locks, thankfully)

He has multiple Alexa thingies (used to be Google homes), Internet thermostat, smart light switches, smart cameras/doorbells, smart plugs

Idk why he does. The only thing that really provide any value are the light switches and plugs (scheduled lighting) and maybe the doorbell thingies
