This also doesn't make sense for the copyright owner interests. Don't you want people to share screenshots of your movies and shows?

I agree it doesn't make any sense. But this is unfortunately the deal with Hollywood and they surely just ported the same functionality from iOS.

If I can take a screenshot, I can copy the whole movie.

Technically, yes. Practically, it's unfeasible. Legally, there's a pretty sharp distinction between copying one frame to share with friends or on social media and copying all the friends with an intent of copying the entire movie.
