You made that leap yourself.

I'm not pointing out a grand conspiracy, I'm pointing out another another gap in Apples privacy model.

No, he's saying that if you enable it, you'll end up with a lot of screenshots. There is no implication that they were not triggered by a tap. He even says "accidentally being triggered constantly".

Yes I did make the leap, because it doesn't seem like a relevant issue if it's not done on purpose by Apple.
