I think you make a good point here:

* Copying formatting works well and is desired when it is done within an app but it is janky and undesired when the apps are different.

I furiously hates copying/pasting of formatting. After reflecting, the problems all exist when I'm pasting from one app to another.

I just think out of the apps I use, the ones where paste with formatting is the default (eg it's what CMD+V does) are the ones where I'm usually pasting from somewhere else.
