I wrote about some of this earlier this year: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/70954.html?thread=2203178 https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/70954.html?thread=2203178 - the short version is that it has nothing to do with screenshotting, screenshotting is just a victim of it. If you have decoded video content in video RAM a separate app can just read it back out and reencode it, stripping DRM for minimal loss in quality.
(In theory the hardware could provide a rate limited interface to allow copying it, letting you take one screenshot every few seconds or something, but that would create additional "risk")
