Not actually true since a permission is required for reads.

Replying to @DanielMicay @freddyb and @ra6bit

A permission is still required to read the clipboard. A user interaction with the web page such as clicking on anything or scrolling was previously required for each individual read/write by this API but not the other API. Requirement for the permission to read is still there.

and

It's a deliberately misleading claim. There's no change to what web pages can do via the total set of APIs. They require a permission to read from the clipboard and don't require one to write to the clipboard. There were already multiple APIs for reading/writing the clipboard.

One of those APIs required a user interaction with the page such as clicking a link or scrolling. That was removed. Nothing has changed about the need for a permission to read the clipboard and the concerning lack of one to write to it. Extra requirement for one API removed.
