actually it's documented

Note: Text variables and fields in forms are designed to display contents of a 
"reasonable" size. Beyond several tens of thousands of characters (depending on 
the system), only part of the text will be accessible in the form.

I recall its 100,000 on windows, 383,046 on macOS. this is limitation imposed 
by the system.
text editors general do optimisation by lazy loading.

when you "copy all", you copy all including the text that is not rendered on 
the window.
same with paste.
you could say that a text input area is a window to the text that resides in 
memory.
