TBF, I kind of get it. If someone is using a public computer you wouldn't want someone to be able to sign into a site they left open because they copied their password.
However, this won't prevent anyone from copying the password into something like notepad and just typing it out. So in the end, it's useless and makes things less user friendly. Which is what I expect these days.
I suspect the reasoning for it was more along the lines of "if you're pasting the password, that means you probably saved it in a text file on your desktop or something, and you shouldn't do that so let's stop you from doing it". In reality, it probably didn't work to make anyone store passwords more securely, and only made life unnecessarily harder for people with password managers
