100% correct, I assumed windows also let people do that given text recognition is apparently trivial now (to the extent it's annoying - trying to drag images and get text selection instead is annoying :-/)
Windows has gone sort of the opposite way, copy/paste is now often hindered if the engine recognizes the string to be sensitive or otherwise un-wise to copy to your clipboard.
I've had a few instances on Windows 11 and surrounding software where ctrl-C as well as the context menu entry for 'Copy' were greyed out for this reason when skimming through logfiles, presumably because there was something about the line that triggered the MS "that's a password!" regex; stuuuupid stuff.
