I don't like that either, but I get it, it breaks the privacy of the sent message as messages have permissions attached to them.

Honestly, bugged me a few times before I just switched to using the snippet tool. I use it all the time anyways and this felt natural.

It's not base64 because of privacy, and using the snipping tool instead of just copying is not natural. Imagine opening a whole other program to copy some text you just highlighted.
