IDK about pros and cons, because I have no idea which issues prompted such
behavior's change. BTW and FWIW, I don't recall seeing anything about such
thing in any Release Notes – maybe I just missed it. Any links to any kind of
info about this, anywhere?

What I do know is that, as a simple common user, I would expect that a copy of
a worksheet would behave the "same" as the original. If a formula is using an
absolute reference for a worksheet, I would expect to be kept in the
newly-pasted copy with the same absolute reference. The same goes for a CF that
depends on an absolute reference.

I have to admit that, even if I would had known about such behavior's change,
I'm not sure I would had realized I was about to make a mistake in some common
"duplicate sheet" action. Of course this is speculation ATM. IOW, I could
understand the frustration of users finding out that what was supposed to be a
copy, it is not really an exact copy. That is, if they happen to find out about
it.
