> it should not be possible for you to install surreptitious screen recording software on an iPhone.

I agree with this 100%. It should not be possible on any platform. Key word there being surreptitious.

To clarify, your comments are about iOS apps. Look at their MacOS apps, and it's a different story. The capture the entire devices screen, not just the web browser. And several competitors do it.

FTA: “I've made sure since day one that a "reasonably suspicious" notification is present when the app is monitoring.”

So are you still sure I should never be allowed to run this code on my phone?
