Why not make this the default calling it "Copy Link" and offer a second option "Copy Link With Potential Tracking!!!"?

because "Copy Link" tells the user they are about to copy the entirety of the link.
Huh, let's not do that. If I chose "Copy link", I'd expect an exact copy of the string, not a modified (cleaned) one. What next, an image editor where "Copy image" gives you an enhanced image where e.g. people in the background and imperfections on people's skin are removed?

Nope, not "next", TikTok did that already

Why stop there? Why not remove the skin altogether :>
