Well that's unfortunate. I can take any camera and point it at a screen to capture its contents. Any expectation of privacy on that front is artificial and naive

There is a difference between trivially bypassing protections and having to go though some effort to bypass it.
How many people are going to bust out another camera to take a picture vs. hitting two buttons to take a screenshot?

There's a difference in scale.

I'm betting the number of people doing it will increase at the same rate as the number of apps blocking screenshots. Also would have a relationship to the expectation of security. If more people believe it's secure then the amount of sensitive content will increase

Wanting to get around artificial barriers seems pretty engrained into human nature
