The fact apps can prevent you from taking screenshots on mobile is one of biggest symptoms of everything that is wrong with this closed ecosystem. Second position being that you have the concept of 'rooting' a phone to get it in the state you have your regular computer in. Of course, with MS pushing more and more restrictive booting conditions for windows and DRM getting in everything, even FOSS, this is only going to get worse.

In my experience on iOS actually preventing taking the screenshot doesn’t happen though. The app just gets to know it happened and can notify the user of options. Many apps do this, including jodel. Sure, it’s annoying, especially if you want to take multiple screenshots in a row. Recording video of apps sometimes is blocked though. It would be lovely to get vector screenshots someday. That contain the static UI state of a given moment with as much semantics as possible.
