If you intend to text that to someone, and it’s on your computer, then you’d have to screenshot it, create an email, attach the picture, send it to yourself, open the email on your phone, download it, and then text it. It’s way easier to just snap a picture with your phone and send it.
I have a Telegram account, but half my friends don’t and none of my family does. Some of them use Facebook Messenger, and some use WhatsApp, but I will never install a Facebook app. So sometimes SMS is the only option. There’s not enough standarization yet.
I’m guilty of this, too. However, if you have whatsapp on your pc, you can screenshot the thing you wanna show and then either send it to yourself or a designated friend. The image will be there in your phone gallery to send via text.
It’s useful, but I’m sometimes busy/focused on something else/lazy, and so i take a picture and whomever gets it can just deal with it
For Android, once you took a screenshot on your PC and copied it (which most screenshot software does automatically), in browser go to http://photos.google.com and press ctrl-v on your keyboard. Done… This isn’t the 90s lol

Or, if you use almost any Messenger that has a web front end, you take the screen shot, and paste it in the chat.

I just use KDE connect or discord to send it to myself, much faster than email
