Where has the practice of sending screen shots as source code come from?

That would be a MOdulator-DEModulator device.  It's what you plug your
DSL phone line or cable coax into.  At one time it simply plugged into a
regular phone line but there aren't many of those around any more.

You may be connecting directly to a provider's Wifi AP but 90% of the
people still use modems.  And even if you connect directly to an AP that
device still needs to talk to a modem so you are still connected to a
modem at some point.

Modems are still around.  They have simply evolved from the 300 baud
acoustic coupler.
