I was considering "touch"ing the timestamps after also,

For POSIX conformance we must touch if the user has specified only POSIX
options (and has not specified -p).
And it's not just a POSIX conformance issue. Ordinary users will be
surprised if plain 'cp A B' creates a file B with a timestamp from last
year.
Likewise for B's modes.
There's another complication: recent macOS versions have CLONE_ACL, and
we're not using that.
