Hot take: MUAs should simply not make links clickable/copyable on render, or even strip any URI away completely.

No. Links are very useful and constantly present in conversation and manually written into messages. Do you seriously propose to basically ban them by default? Also I don't want the MUA to censor messages, that would also lead to a lot of confusion. If anything, they could not render them as hyperlinks by default, but stripping them out, no.
