I went looking for old screen capture programs. The first place I checked was simtel (https://archive.org/details/SIMTEL_0692), and found multiple copies of an EGA screen capture program from 1987, such as "CAPTURE.ARC 21504 06-11-87 Screen capture to disk file (from PC Magazine)". There was also an earlier dated file for dumping Hercules screens to Epson printers.
The sibling point about digital prepress is a relevant one too: So you have a file on your computer with the contents of a screen .. whatcha gonna do with it anyway?

Related: This is powered by 'c2t', open source software on github. I made a web-based port of c2t that can take a .dsk file from your computer and produce a sound file: https://www.unpythonic.net/web-c2t/
just noticed that if you feed it a .woz file, it segfaults. nice.
