iOS differentiates between this since iOS 10:

Also iOS 14 has new clipboard related APIs to further check the content without actually accessing it.

If iOS 14 adds new APIs to check, then I wouldn't be surprised if the codepath hasStrings uses triggers the warning

The purpose of hasStrings was performance not indicating intent, so that wouldn't be surprising
