The iPhone also didn't have copy and paste for a while. And the trade-off with more options is they're work to maintain and users are confused by them.

Yep - but, the iPhone came from nowhere, and, "no copy and paste" was put out by Microsoft to say how bad it was...

Microsoft basically took a backwards step from Windows CE and then did the same years after it was the norm in other systems.
