You can just take a picture with a camera, which is included with a device pretty much everyone carries with them every day.

Sure, but it takes extra steps and the results won't be as good as direct screen capture. It won't stop someone determined, but it's annoying enough that most people won't bother.

Sure, it keeps honest people honest, but does little if anything to stop the actual problem.

Bit more effort and harder to do when something only briefly flashes on screen than it is to hit the screenshot button on almost every keyboard.

If you know it's blocked, you can have the camera ready. This is only going to keep honest people honest.

As I said in another comment:

Also most people don’t sit there in meetings with their finger on the screenshot key ready to go - but it is simple to just press a screenshot key on your keyboard. It’s a little bit harder to have your phone up and with the camera open the entire time ready to take photos, especially if cameras are on - especially if something just pops up briefly on screen and you realise you want to capture it.

This is only going to keep honest people honest.

It's going to keep the overwhelming amount of people "honest", and it's going to give companies an extra tick box on any security audits that are integral to the company doing business.
