Honestly it’s just such a lovely feature in wordpress. Hypertext is a great thing, and foundational concept for the web, of course.. but going back adding 10 links to a post is really irritating unless you can simply copy and paste them. So I don’t bother, unless I’m using wordpress. There should really be no surprise that pasting a link creates a link.
