It is, and the iOS 14 changes fixed and highlighted the issue.
Perhaps naively, but I give all the apps (even Tiktok) benefit of the doubt here. It was a fairly common practice for podcast apps (for example), to check the clipboard for an RSS feed and prompt to subscribe to it when adding a podcast. iOS 14 gave new APIs to do that in a more privacy preserving way.
I don't think anyone was busted for anything nefarious, but it just reavealed a lack of suitable APIs on the platform.

It would be better to register an rss:// handler and let the OS notify the user that a new RSS url has been found {on the clipboard, in html, text file, url, whatever} and ask what to do (perhaps with some automatic permission to send it to your app).
