My wife is an academic and I often see her screenshoting to move an image from one document to another. Seems like a UI failure that the system can't detect this use case and move high quality backing images through the clipboard.
MacOS went full circle here at least with regards to text: In the new MacOS versions, if you screenshot text there's automatic OCR, so when you receive a screenshot of some text, you can copy it again!
It's non-trivial to implement that for something like SVG's, but if UI developers had anticipated this use case, we might have gotten a remedy with the introduction of raster graphics.
