I'm beginning to suspect that a substantial portion of users don't habitually do that, for two reasons:
1. They don't understand URLs. That's not too surprising to be honest, URLs are pretty complex things.
2. They've been burned enough times by crap SPAs that they don't instantly assume something they are looking at has a dependable URL they can copy and share.
Thanks to 2 I've recently started rethinking a bunch of my own projects - I think I need to add explicit "share" buttons that copy URLs to people's clipboards for them.
