OK so people can still just screenshot, right?

Yea, I don't think we'll ever be able to disable that kind of thing.

But this addresses at least one of the main concerns people had with allowing quote-posting.

The update is notable because quote posts have historically fuelled negative behaviour on other platforms, where they are often used for public ridicule or so-called “dunking.” (source)
