This is intended in order to make behavior between X11 and Wayland consistent.
On Wayland, you can't just get the window that is under the mouse cursor.
Instead, you have to request to the system to let the user pick a window and
that's why you have to click on windows now. I realize this is not optimal for
certain usecases. You may be able to achieve something similar to the old
behavior by capturing the active window instead. Why can you capture the active
window on Wayland without explicit input from the user, but not the window with
the mouse cursor over it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know. I suppose you could argue
that behavior on X11 shouldn't be limited by Wayland, but I think it's
important to keep behavior consistent. This way users don't need to think
differently depending on the graphics platform when they're using Spectacle on
Plasma. Also, Wayland is still supposed to be the future (even if X11 ends up
living on for the next 10 years despite KDE and GNOME's best efforts to move
away).
