Totally agree. As for localization, if you localize your documentation, of course, the screenshots should be in the correct locale.
However, it may be a problem when there are elements you don't control. Native UI toolkits make the appearance match that of the system. And while I think it is a good thing (I hate the modern trend where no effort is done on integration with the host system), it means that your screenshots may not match, for example if the user, doesn't use the same Windows version as you do. It is particularly true on Linux desktops where each distro has its own theme.
