Because there are two diferent  copy/paste methods here that don't always 
functionally overlap.  I want to be able to copy it into the same copy 
buffer as if I did ctrl-c (that actually works).  Imagine this:  I want to 
copy some link text and then paste it on top of some other text.  I do as 
you suggested and select the link text.  Then I go to the text I want to 
copy over and select that and ... oops, doesn't work.  This is just a 
question of consistency.  If your argument is valid, then why are there 
copy/select all options in the context menu under any circumstances?
