You could argue that font, size, colour, line-height and paragraph spacing should not be considered "formatting" of the text, but as properties that belong to the container that the text is in.

Whether it belongs to text or the pdf reader or rich text editor or browser doesn't matter.

I want to carry them over when I copy and paste the text (and sometimes to strip them). I don't want to copy and paste the container.
