>> Other than feeling a little icky about an app watching my screen

I understand that feeling, but it is misguided.

We have become so used to feeling creepy while being watched by others, that we get the same feeling when just watching our self.

There could be many reasons for Apse to fail, but this should not be one.

Agreed. It's the difference between privacy and security. I think the issue here is the former.
