You've never had to worry about copy-pasting destroying your text between two programs

Actually, yes. Yes I do.

Try having to work in documents that trade text in multiple languages between Adobe Acrobat, and Microsoft Office. Add in some opinions from iOS, and I end up pasting text into a blank ASCII file just to get it back to basics so I can send it to the next program because neither Microsoft nor Adobe can reliably handle the macOS standard Command-Shift-V to paste text unformatted.

I can't imagine the disaster that would await me if i also has to do it in Arabic.
