Taking a screenshot isn't breaking the model, it's using a portal. It just means that instead of every application having complete access to everything on the display, you move the trust to the compositor.

I'm not a Windows user, but macOS behaves the same way. If an application wants to capture the screen, you need to give it explicit permission to do so.
