I would tend to agree, but a handful of people have a handful of reasons why they like it, and so removing it completely isn't as much of a no-brainer as adding a permission dialog is.
Sure, but the reasons are always so...contrived and frivolous...and none of them require accessing the clipboard automatically without the user invoking a system command. And the consequence of these poorly considered objections is what we have now.
It's like people have either been gaslit into thinking that there's no sane alternative to the current nightmare or are so shortsighted that they don't understand the horrors lurking around every corner that wouldn't be there if they stopped to consider the consequences of [checks notes] "google maps doesn't require you to to paste the address in before it starts to route" and "dash can drop a markdown formatted link". Because saving you one click is surely _so_ important that it's worth giving up everything for.
