Then why not just copy and paste the text....

  You'd have to go to some special measure to copy and paste the text because they disable the standard, easy copy/paste functionality. But taking a photo is always doable. This is a standard argument. If you can't trust the recipient to preserve privacy then there isn't a technological way to defeat this kind of information leak.

    You should be able to copy by disabling JavaScript

      The typical way to avoid this particular problem is only to load the content via JavaScript while copy/paste are presumed disabled.

        You can just use a browser dev tool like the chrome inspector to copy the text. I don't know what the big deal is.

        What's to stop you from removing the event listeners disabling copy and paste through the console/dev tools?

          You could use that CSS rendered font someone made a while ago to make it into an uncopyable text.

            Screenshot to an OCR reader defeats that really quickly.

            This whole argument about copying is rather silly, at some point the text must be transmitted in a human readable form. At which point it can be recorded either electronically, or in the most difficult case by writing down manually what must be copied. Everything else is a question of degrees.

              If you happen to be on corporate computer, access to developer tools can be disabled via group policies.
