Even though it’s one step removed from literal sabotage, there’s no angle I can see that would render it just a “minor thing”.

It effectively makes it useless for anyone where not showing the presenter’s screen content was critically important.

Unless you know of some alternative method?

I doubt anyone at Apple was sitting in a meeting and was like, "I hated all my teachers in school, let's make it impossible for them to use iPads as presentation devices", and then everyone else agreed with them.

I think they understand the problem, it's just not as dire a thing to see to the rest of us as you seem to feel.

It's easy to be outraged about everything, it's hard for everyone to do everything right 100% of the time for use cases most have never even heard of.

(I don't work at Apple).
