There probably wasn't a problem in the first place, just a misunderstanding on how things work.Welp, the RealVNC Viewer connected just fine. I wonder what the problem is.
SSH (Secure Shell) is a command line client/server communication system running on port 22 (by default). VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a graphical desktop-sharing system that uses port 5900 (by default for the first display). (You probably already know this but I thought I'd include it for those people that don't).
The configuration for SSH is not shared with VNC unless you specifically configure VNC to do so (I use port forwarding via SSH to allow for secure VNC connections without having to configure encryption in VNC). According to this page, Apple Screen Sharing/Apple Remote Desktop uses AES-256 bit encryption but RealVNC (Home and Professional) use AES-128 bit encryption (RealVNC Enterprise uses AES-256) so they wouldn't have a shared encryption standard to communicate with.
I'm not sure which VNC server you would be running (RaspiOS Bookworm switch to Wayland for the desktop and WayVNC for the VNC server) but it would be configured to support the RealVNC client because RealVNC server was the previous system being used in RaspiOS.
I just had a look and the previous version of RaspiOS uses RealVNC Server Raspberry Pi Edition with AES-128 bit encryption.
