Many users expect to record entire videos of what they are doing in an operating system desktop session. With the big talk about the whole of Linux moving from "X-dot-org" to Wayland, it might become impossible to do what you are requesting. However, under Wayland it's already tough enough to record desktop sessions into video.
Some people especially on Linux would not touch a program that disables [PRT SC] or any other key, would consider it spyware. If it comes directly from you this could affect your reputation as educator. An user could press the key without thinking much about it, or because he/she wants to show off to his/her friends on Facebook or wherever else online. If the program doesn't respond to some "system" keypress there better be a good reason why. But this might be the minority of the population using Windows anyway.
It's bothersome that [CTRL][ALT][DEL] on Linux with GNOME desktop only opens the "shutdown" dialog. It does not reboot the computer, and it does not bring a dialog asking the user how to end the current desktop session.
I would like to get a reason from the devs of AutoHotKey, besides "It's too hard!" why it has never been ported to Linux. There is an old version of AutoIt that somebody sort of fixed so it works on Linux reasonably, but it relies way too much on Python and it would probably be forbidden in Wayland session.
