Wasn’t this tried with videos already? graphic overlay mode or something, for a few years you can’t even take a snapshot of a video playing on your screen, you just get a black box.
It’s still very much a thing and works fairly well to protect high quality DRM content. People forgot it’s a thing because a regular person is rarely in a situation where it would prevent them from doing something.

And now people forgot it was ever a thing.
I’m pretty sure overlay mode was always about performance, not preventing screenshots.
