How unfortunate. Windows should disable the Undo option as soon as the copied file is modified.

Can confirm this is how macOS does it. They remove the file from the stack of Undo actions after it's been modified post-copy.

It's the little things that make the big difference.

MacOS also doesn’t let you cut a file and then lose it by accidentally copying something else to the clipboard, because to “cut and paste” you copy, then use option-command-v to move the file instead of copying.

I think this mistake is usually recoverable in Windows, but

Oops, I accidentally undid my typing.

This mistake is usually unrecoverable but sometimes not, when you’re in file explorer but it’s not a normal file explorer view. For example, when viewing the images of an attached iPhone.

Exactly, that was my first thought.
