My doctor's app does this and it annoys the fuck out of me. I get test results and I want to share them with my wife and it's like nope.

Second phone or cheap camera off ebay..
There are also probably usb-c capture dongles that should work
Also: Split Screen + Take photo using front camera in front of a mirror.
Drives me nuts too! Signal at least has a toggle for it, so the user can decide. I wish more apps would do the same, maybe with a pop up warning explaining the risks.
This thing is super annoying. Maybe there is some xposed module to bypass this . i don't known my phone isn't rooted.
I understand the reasoning for it since many apps can see photos on your device so if it is something that should stay private you probably shouldn't be taking screenshots anyway, but I also can see how it could be annoying. I quite like the feature on messaging apps actually.
Some android apps bypass this but don't work 100 percent but sadly, they are the only safe option.
By safe I also mean, the others you must root so you void certain updates from your carrier in many cases, you have to search the APK code and delete a line, or you have to install a certain entity which hinders your security in other ways.
Shopping apps should have, and Amazon usually lets you email a copy of a receipt anyway. Don't know about other shopping apps. Banks and other financial institutions you would just need to contact them for records etc, and I know it is a pain.
Some browsers have settings to bypass if you are using a site that tries to stop a screenshot.
