Apple refuses to separate sound controls. Alarms, texts, system sounds, screenshot noises, camera shutter, call ringer are all attached.

Why can’t I turn off screenshot noises without risking missed calls, wtf why is this even a connected concern??

It’s less customisable but your 10yr old cousin and 78yr old grandmother find it easy to use. It’s a silent switch. Turn it to silent and your phone cannot make a sound without an interaction by you. Very simple and easy to understand. If you want more granular control of this in iOS you’ll have to use a combination of Focus modes and Shortcuts. Personally I think of be pretty easy for Apple to retain the simplistic silent mode AND add setting level granular control too.
