This contradicts how I as a user think of the clipboard. The clipboard is the most important feature of end user computing that is ignored by OS designers. I should be able to open a window and see all things in my clipboard.
Also with password managers like 1Password using the clipboard as a means to xmit sensitive data it seems to me like the API needs to be updated.
An interesting solution to the problem discussed in the post would be how macOS implements Quick Look in Finder. Apps can serialize a data structure to clipboard and plugins can be responsible for deserialize on paste. This would solve the issue of apps being closed.
Clipboard API should have the concept of sensitive data.
