I still find it weird that this has no override.
I can vaguely understand the security concern, but it's my device, running my OS, why can't I make a simple screenshot?

I know sharing a screenshot of my bank statement is a bad idea, but forbidding it completely is a ridiculous extreme.
(On Android, you can only get into that swamp by opting in to "accessibility" features, which specifically need access to screen contents.)
Accessibility is only required if the app doesn't have system permissions, or if it's not carried out a privilege escalation. Though granted a privilege escalation might also be able to gain root to turn off setting a secure surface too (that's not enough to get past Widevine if that's been used but banks generally are not).
It's not about screenshots, the point is that screen recording is blocked because the OS can't see the encrypted video path. As it can't there's nothing to take a screenshot of.
(Indeed, you can take a screenshot. It just comes out with all the video data nulled, so it's a black square.)
