Answer: A bunch of people read a clickbait article a long time ago suggesting that the fact that apps can see what you copied to the clipboard was a supposed breach of privacy (despite the fact that the clipboard was literally designed to work that way from the beginning). Then after the uproar, Apple added this notification to allow you to see when apps access the clipboard and deny it if you desire.
But the fact that one of the top comments here is telling people how to disable it with a bunch of responses thanking them says something about how annoying this feature is to a lot of people.
And? People make bad decisions all the time. Lots of people still don’t use 2FA and then they whine when they lose their accounts. Sometimes security is worth a little bit of annoyance.
