I tend to agree.  Products often tend to improve over time, so "If it's not broken, don't fix it" doesn't always make sense.

I wouldn't think copy & paste would matter, but I think someone else said it may be related to whether or not mouse click support is enabled, which could affect whether or not you can click & highlight text in the terminal.  And I don't think that would be specifically affected by Synchronet BBSes, as it's possible that mouse support could work when remotely connected to any system (including just a SSH command-prompt session with a remote Linux system).
