Are arc++ windows returned? In that case, it will likely be fixed automatically when the crostini launcher is enabled and windows start becoming tied to the tray and login profile.
According to the documentation in https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/windows,
this is to interact with browser windows. What's the goal of getting wayland windows in extensions?
I needed this functionality to move to the top the wayland window I was using to show VM output. This functionality is no longer needed. However, IIRC discussion with reveman@ this is still a bug in getAll() as it was supposed to return Wayland Windows. 
Can you check if this is fixed now?

If this is still broken..go ahead and reopen it.
I still believe the current behavior is WAI, according to the documentation of the api.

chrome.windows
