“… the fact that probably 99% of all cut/copy/paste operations are within the same application…”

Depends. If you’re working, say, in an application writing or a drawing/graphic app then you’re likely doing a lot of copy and paste. In which case the total number of CnP operations is very high.

However, this measure is misleading to the utility of CnP between applications. Not having to save to a compatible format and then importing from the other app is a great productivity improvement.

Just saying.
