I totally agree with this suggestion - implementing collaboration can be a lot of work and be error prone, so I think activity developers tend to not get around to it.
Having a built in VNC or Remote X based 'default sharing solution', along the lines of what LogMeIn or GotoMyPC do but on a per-activity basis, would go a long way towards establishing the ubiquitous Sugar collaboration experience as designed. Then, activities with special sharing requirements, like games which become multiplayer competitions when shared, can override this default behavior.
