I think the most succinct way to put it:
You send a message to someone whom you trust (and therefore won't screenshot). If their device is later compromised, forward secrecy ensures the message can't be retrieved.
Even revoking the compromised device is insufficient, as they could retrieve your chat history long before the user realizes they've been pwned.
