Not so much security theater as a large number of exploits were disguised as .scr files as it was easy to trick a user into downloading one and then it would run with full system access

Restrict .scr to run as an unprivileged user without network or filesystem access, that always launches the system login/unlock on exit?
This seems better than having a program that does random web requests to put ads on the lock screen.
