In China the digital boarding pass QR code changes every 30 seconds preventing screenshots or photos of it from being used. But as they’re currently implemented in the US it’s no different than paper.
The bigger issue is how bad airline apps handle anything even slightly out of the ordinary like itineraries including codeshare segments or just randomly have server problems. I fly 50+ times a year and am able to actually use the digital boarding pass only ~95% of the time.
