Specifically, things like copying a cell of data in Google Sheets for example.

Copying from HTML tables is already sane.

Google sheets is not just a HTML table though. And when you click on a cell, you select the cell itself, rather than having to highlight the cell contents. In order for copy paste to work as intended, this makes it necessary for Google Sheets to intercept Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V.
