The spec reads:

If the user grants permission but a hardware error such as an OS/program/webpage lock prevents access, reject p with a new DOMException object whose name attribute has the value NotReadableError and abort these steps.

It is unclear to me what this safeguards against.

"OS access prevention" seems unlikely. Will implementations really be capturing the entire screen/window using OS-level APIs and cropping? That would potentially run into the problem of partial transparency, mentioned later in the doc.
"Program access prevention" - unclear to me. What does it mean?
"webpage lock" - Do you mean a lock similar to that preventing screenshots?
