I feel the same way. A bandaid for the situation: you can use browser extensions/add-ons to restore paste functionality on these web pages. For example, I use this one:

I had an idea for Firefox, which is to restrict copy/paste overriding completely from the DOM.

This would put a stop to Google's BS of overriding normal links top google-analytics-full redirect urls.

You can disable this API in about:config fully and natively.
To save people some time, it's `dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled` in about:config.
