It's still a concern because there will be users reflexively pressing enter without checking what they pasted if it's the expected value most of the time.

Meanwhile there is zero benefit for letting websites manipulate the clipboard or intercept basic browser interactions. This might make sense for applications but that's just another argument why those shouldn't be forced into the same browser as websites.
