i wonder about the reception if apple were the first ones to introduce this concept, and emphasize the "on-device" nature. they have done this for other things in the past and did not get much backlash.

to not disregard the obvious oversight made here, m$ can still make some slight changes based on existing stuff to make this more palatable.

for one, android has a mechanism to prevent screenshots inside certain apps. (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/admin/De...) there should be a windows api that allows apps to use that. this, if implemented in browsers for certain websites, alone will take away a lot of nervousness around this.

trust issues against m$ is warranted and it is up to them to earn it back. since windows 10, however, the trajectory has been on the other direction. despite this, it does not take a lot to continue their boiling frog attitude with this.
