Agreed with the overall sentiment but screenshot+immediate text select on iOS/Mac has solved 99% of my issues here Technology!

  Which the OP acknowledges, but it’s an extra step (and one that a lot of people don’t realize is possible) that shouldn’t be necessary.

    Right, the more steps there are in the process, the more people just drop and forget it.

    Androids implementation doesn't even have an extra step of screenshotting like iOS. You can just swipe up to open recents screen and start selecting text by holding down. Although it's not as good as native selection since it does some kind of OCR vs actually selecting the text data, so it cannot properly copy things it doesn't understand like random languages or hashes/urls etc. It does has it's own advantages though since it can select anything like text from paused videos vs only rendered text views if app allowed native selection).
