The OS probably doesn’t disallow any such thing, but several apps have found workarounds such as briefly setting the screen dark when it detects a screenshot, or various other forms of trickery.

The result is that the screenshot still gets taken (they have no way of disabling that), but the photo is unusable.

Also, the OS shouldn't tell the foreground app when a screenshot is being taken.

Agreed, but there’d probably be an uproar from the content providers, and neither Apple nor Google has an incentive to be on the users side on this one :/
