Why does it feel dodgy? When I want to give Adobe DRM or TikTok those permissions, I should be able to. They just shouldn't have the option to force me, or else stop running. Do you really condone the trendy dumbing down to an user-hostile walled garden? It's even Windows nowadays: They make it super hard to change file associations, change it back to Edge on every update, and even don't let other programs support the user. All under the pretext of "protect the user from bad applications", but really misuse it to drive usage of their own apps. The same will happen with that clipboard function.

It feels dodgy because they give a false sense of security, i wrote about it in another reply: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30220373

The complete opposite in fact, i dislike the increasing usability nightmare that modern desktop OSes creep in in the name of protecting users who are going to do their thing regardless unless the relevant functionality is completely removed - at which point someone should stop, take a few steps back and think why people use computers in the first place.
