One that drives me crazy is copying text from messages. So many apps fall foul of the button problem you describe above.
Even chat apps. In Whatsapp every time I want to copy some message text I have to hunt for where the copy icon is, it appears far away from the message at the top of the screen with 5 other icons, none of which it's clear what they do.
Slack is at least a little better than this, when you highlight a message it offers similar functionality but with a modal where it's easier to find the "copy text" option as it's labelled.
Worse are the apps that try and make it hard to copy text because they want to force you to share via their app to drive engagement.
