Why would won't the script change all the players text?

Now that FE is enforced ScreenGui must be handled Client-sided.
So operations made to ScreenGui need be executed by a LocalScript (LocalScripts only run in certain locations, read more here).
(Special circumstances if the ScreenGui is somewhere on the Server or somewhere where it exists for both Server and Client(s). This is not the case for the PlayerGui folder of a Player).
Given this information we must understand that a LocalScript exists on a singular client. It does not replicate information between Clients. So this means that if a ScreenGui is in StarterGui along with a LocalScript. Then an individual LocalScript and ScreenGui exists for every player (every Client) that joins the game.
use a LocalScript, but if the server determines when the text changes then using a RemoteEvent to call the clients... look at the example below
--- <<<<< IN A SERVER SCRIPT THAT IS IN SERVER STORAGE >>>>>>>
'
local textChanger = game.ReplicatedStorage.TextChanger
--When a certain event then
textChanger:FireAllClients() -- Takes any defined parameters
--- <<<<<< IN A LocalScript THAT IS IN StarterGui
local textChanger = game.ReplicatedStorage.TextChanger
textChanger.OnClientEvent:connect(function()
local player = game.Players.LocaPlayer
player.PlayerGui[ScreenGui][TextLabel].Text = "WOOOO HOOO.......It works"
-- I HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU :D
end)
