Simplescreenrecorder tells you why. Guessing it's likely a similar story for the others as well.

We have to test this in other Wayland system to make both are giving the blank screen recording right? and make sure it's not a cosmic problem.

Both those apps still have no Wayland support and multiple apps which do work. https://github.com/MaartenBaert/ssr/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20wayland https://bugs.launchpad.net/kazam/+bug/1980699
