I have problem understanding what problem is this solving?

When the image is on my screen I can just screenshot it.

This is a common problem, using something in insecure environment, thats why companies are going into such extents to encrypt movies on whole train from source to the display and even those are regularly dumped.

It's not "solving" anything, just demonstrating an interesting gimmick

What’s the gimmick because I just save that image to photos on iOS?

[spiderice]

Definitely a gimmick. Interesting might be a bit of a stretch

And even if they figured out some DRM method to prevent screenshotting/screen recording, I can still point my phone camera at my monitor and capture it that way, if I really want to. There is always a way around whatever they try to do.

If I can see it, I can make a copy of it.

> I can still point my phone camera at my monitor and capture it that way

Back in the late 1990s/early 2000s (this was so long ago that I cannot quickly find a reference), there were proposals to require all non-professional audio and video recorders to detect a watermark and disable recording when one was found. Needless to say this was a terrible idea, for several reasons.

But because they try the rest of us suffer the consequences of more expensive and slower hardware and all kinds of other problems.

Yes. DRM always hurts the legitimate users more than the "pirates". Same with disabling right click or otherwise trying to prevent downloading images.
