I also can't stand Android preventing me from taking a screenshot. It's on my screen, I have the right to take a screenshot.

I understand the technical limit of taking screenshots of DRM-protected content (e.g. Netflix), but why would my bank app be allowed to stop me from taking screenshots?

Solution: don't use mobile bank apps.
I'm forced to use a bank app in order to authenticate, even if I want to login on the desktop website. I think it's because of an EU regulation for strong authentication.
The implementation causing you issues is from the bank, not from the EU regulation.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_customer_authentication for details
