The page is setting the CSS user-select properties to "none". You can unset it using you browser's dev tools.

See https://www.w3schools.com/cssreF/css3_pr_user-select.asp

This shows why I still prefer W3Schools.

What does? The fact that W3Schools only lists a subset of the possible values? That it just has a single "compatibility" row instead of listing browser compatibility for the various different possible values? Or is it just the fact that they put the example at the top of the page instead of putting it below the formal documentation?

The real question is why browsers, which are supposed to be literal user agents, implement these regressive antifeatures in the first place?

According to the csswg[1] for this, it was supposed to be used selectively for adjacent decorative elements that can interfere with the selection of normal content. Of course it actually is used for screwing with the user but what can you do?

It’s an incredibly useful feature for UI elements.
