Exactly.

You also open the gates to many edge cases where I don't know what it is supposed to happen.

What if I never paste the cut text? Does it stay faded?

What if I copy some other text, maybe on another app, before pasting? Do I paste the faded text or the new copied one?

Also, as you mention, I hate that you can't paste on a different program given the fact that the clipboard is untouched when you press ctrl-x

The gain is so minimal for a lot of headaches if you don't follow the happy path
