So, do we need to provide copy and paste buttons in our pages now as
well? ;)

It's not difficult, just that the window itself already has a "X"
control to close it as part of the actual window chrome itself (even a
window without address bar has standard minimize/close/etc controls). So
now you have two close controls.

In any case, if a developer wants to do it, more power to them. But
let's be careful making absolute statements.
