It’s literally not friction. The average user has no clue how to take a screenshot. They all know how to take a picture with their phone.
It’s a solution searching for a problem it can’t solve.
Friction implies you’re stopping a user from taking an action they consider the easiest way to solve the problem. Since you think I “invented” the survey, I invite you to ask all of you non technical friends and family how they would go about capturing an image of their computer screen if they needed to quickly show you a copy of what they’re looking at.
I absolutely guarantee you that taking a picture with their phone will be the winner by an order of magnitude.

All you’ve shown that there is at least one incredibly out of touch person that “works in security”. Absolutely green behind the ears.
Everyone knows this. You don’t need this survey (which surely was a real thing that actually occurred and not something you just conveniently imagined for this argument, right?) to tell you that.
It’s literally written in the linked article.
We know. There are ways around it. But it’s friction, and friction has value. People know it’s not perfect, but it’s another reminder that people aren’t supposed to be doing it.
