Frequent paste prompts in iPadOS 26 despite explicit copying

In iPadOS 26 it seems I have to click to allow pasting almost every time from one application to another. I’m talking about me explicitly copying and pasting text. This has been a growing frustration for many years, but it’s never been as bad as this. Did it apply to Apple’s own applications before? Now it certainly does. 

But I wondered if there was any way to turn it off or just get the prompt once. The strange thing is that this doesn’t seem to happen on the iPhone, only the iPad. I’ve been on the phone with Apple and they told me there was a setting that you could change, but you have to do it for each application. So we looked through the most relevant applications in system settings, but the other strange thing is that only a few of them actually had this setting. What’s going on?
