I don't know the reason for this behaviour, for me this is similar to preventing applications from capturing the whole screen. https://wiki.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2014/XDC2014DodierPeresSecurity/xorg-talk.pdf has a slide with "Some common GUI requirements are un-secure by design • Clipboard monitoring" so at least some people wanted to fix some security problems in xorg clipboard implementation. > For me, this "share on focus" is not a more secure behaviour. "VM can monitor everything which goes in your clipboard while you are not using it" VS "VM can get what is in your clipboard when you switch to it" sounds more secure to me, even if not perfect.
