I very much agree with this. Many sites block clipboard action intentionally,
using 'readonly' css tricks or unintentially with 'copy to clipboard' buttons
that may not work if the user blocks js execution by default.

This isn't a workaround to a bug, it's suggesting accomodating unavoidable
issues. The same way a surge protector exists. 
You can't completely prevent power surges but you can mitigate the damage.
The damage being, thinking I ctrl+a, ctrl+c the entire page contents and
closing the browser only to find my clipboard unchanged after the fact.

I love how coding an entire

is, 
'no problemo, already done' 

vibes, but

is, 

'no way, report bugs don't use the NOR wishlist for suggesting reducing
user-friction, that's not what it's for'
