Consistency:
When copying and pasting text from different sources, the formatting can be inconsistent and may not match the desired formatting of the target document. Clearing formatting ensures that the pasted text adopts the same formatting as the target document.
Some users simply prefer to work with plain text without any formatting, as it allows them to focus on the content rather than the presentation.
Clarity:
Sometimes, the formatting of the original text can be distracting and interfere with the readability of the new document. Clearing the formatting can help to simplify the text and make it easier to read.
Clearing formatting can make text more accessible to people with visual impairments, as it removes any formatting that may be difficult to read or distinguish.
Compatibility:
Some applications may not support certain formatting options, or the formatting may not transfer correctly when pasted into another application. Clearing formatting can help to ensure that the pasted text is compatible with the target application.
