    TeamViewer and AnyDesk built upon Remote Desktop protocols, they are different since they run over standard https protocols, which is the reason they don’t require port forwarding.

    VNC was designed the way it was to achieve maximum compatibility across OS's with minimal customization of the client/server packages. it focused on the intersection between the vidcard hardware and software in a way that is, by necessity, the same across all OS's. In doing so however, it makes any measures you might take to improve stability or performance across low-bandwidth/high-latency links unachievable. One note; Teamview/anydesk/ChromeRD all use reverse-tunneling to bypass firewalls and NATs. that requires public server infrastructure. Commented Dec 30, 2023 at 4:12
