I don't think this should be categorised as duplicate for nautilus as this is in fact gnome-shell problem on Wayland

Even without gnome-tweak-tool
One can use dconf-editor or use gsettings command in Terminal

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true

which is exactly what gnome-tweak-tool GUI does when you flip ON to show Desktop icons

Note that log off and then login under GNOME on X11, the Desktop icons are there

Back to GNOME on Wayland, nope.

While it seem strange the "nautilus" application is responsible for displaying the desktop icons so the resolution here is technically correct (even though I miss desktop icons personally).
