I think the problem is that you also make legitimate use harder, like copy-pasteing an email address from a web page. In fact I think this applies to security in general. You need to balance the costs and the benefits. Usually in matters like this benefits seem to be implicitly overestimated and costs underestimated, and people just get used to living in the worsened conditions. It's probably because you can't really see the benefits, so you just imagine them to be there. And you imagine them to be larger than the costs, which you can easily downplay (by saying people shouldn't be so lazy, etc). I think this kind of thinking is bad and I don't think we should voluntarily make our own lives worse in every possible opportunity we get.
