I’m wondering if a dependency common to these apps is the thing reading the clipboard.

Well, it's not rare. A lot of apps have sort of feature, search while inputing, to search before user completing spelling. And some apps go further to search and show what people copy from other place, because they thought user may want that. I think its original idea is to bring convienience to user, not to inspect privacy data. But this seems to end now.
