There is no other reason, than their desire to "herd" uesrs, why they could not have the additional options to share/copy and have it behave like any other edit control, i.e. you can tap the other icons to copy or share, and more importantly still start editing it without going an extra step.

That sounds annoying. This is like Slack forcing their WYSIWYG editor on me. Thankfully Apple hasn’t done this yet and the URL bar still acts very much as it should.
But just ask me how I feel about navigating other parts of Apple’s UI! Dunno who they’re user testing with but these changes make me a bit ornery sometimes.

Thankfully Slack backtracked and made that editor optional. I was pretty relieved after a few weeks of frustration

Did their usage numbers show most people wanted to hand-edit the bar or just copy it?
If the latter, the default behavior gets in the way of the critical path.
