  Well it at least shows a notification. This makes stealth mode impossible. And IIRC this method isn't supported on Wayland where the stricter security matters.
  
  Anyway I agree that having to click sometimes sucks and makes some pattern impossible like screenshot with an open menu. That's a problem. A possible solution would be to take the screenshot and afterwards present it from KWin to the user and ask for confirmation to send to another application. This could in future be exchanged with a permission model as Roman mentions (which I am very much supportive of).
