How is letting apps know they're being recorded harmful to users? Prevents screenshotting is what comes to mind for me, but I'm curious what I'm not thinking about.

Yeah that's exactly it. Think how many web sites stupidly disable right click. App authors will do exactly the same except it will be even more annoying to work around.

For instance, social media apps and shopping apps will know if you took interest in something, not just guess based on time you observed the screen. Besides, they will think you liked something even if the reason was not that
