Your web browser is your operating system. It needs to have access to your peripherals and lower-level things like your clipboard and filesystem.

Sure it does, doesn't mean it needs to report back to a website what it's doing with it.

Is your position that Javascript shouldn't be able to see click and drag events?

That would make a lot of browser games, tools (e.g. broswer image editors) and certain browser drag and drop functionality (e.g. a custom video or audio scrub bar) not work. They would require permission popups.
