Answer 5

Yeah, ran into this exact issue when I was putting together something to help a client copy/paste blockchain/cryptocurrency addresses. I thought this was a somewhat reasonable explanation geared toward non-technical folks:

"[...] interactive sites that use Web code (in particular, one called JavaScript) to look and act like programs installed directly on your computer, and a standard security precaution in browsers that blocks Web code from any access to the system clipboard.

Why lock them out? Your computer can't tell the difference between a JavaScript-driven action that you took, such as clicking a button in a Web app, and one that a website executed on its own and without your consent. And it's a lot easier to find yourself on a malicious website than to install malicious software on your Mac or PC."
