Edit: this is on lineage OS but I can't find it in version 21 maybe it's on 20

What option is that? And which Android version?
Yep it's bullshit I hate it too.
I understand that for security compliance reasons. But beyond that, yupp. It sucks.
My doctor's app does this and it annoys the fuck out of me. I get test results and I want to share them with my wife and it's like nope.
Drives me nuts too! Signal at least has a toggle for it, so the user can decide. I wish more apps would do the same, maybe with a pop up warning explaining the risks.
you can bypass this with a rootkit
i think they do it for security reasons. if you can take screenshots of sensitive data, so can malware. however, you should be able to disable it for netflix for example.
Netflix and other streaming apps do it to prevent screen recording their 'premium' content. These use DRM too and the region of protected content shows in black in scrcpy. These apps are much hostile to users much beyond screenshot and shouldn't be used anyway. Most movies and shows can be pirated from torrent, illegal streaming sites or simply telegram in good quality and watched in say vlc for much better experience than these crappy apps provide.
Yes, it's simple, if you don't want me to screenshot your software then don't display it on my screen.
This thing is super annoying. Maybe there is some xposed module to bypass this . i don't known my phone isn't rooted.
You can bypass this crap, but you'll need to root your phone to achieve that.
Afterwards you'll need to install magisk (superuser app) and a bunch of plugins: play integrity fix and playcurl_next (to simulate that your phone is unrooted), and then FlagSecurePatcher (which is the actual module that's overriding the screenshot block.
