My presumption is that when you do that the browser puts a static representation of a snapshot of the page into the clipboard. Copying across the full page, including javascript, so another application could reproduce the page from scratch wouldn't work. For example, if I go to an order in my Amazon account and hit ^A ^C and then go to the windows mail app and paste the the clipboard into the compose window, I get something that looks vaguely like the web page. But the mail app isn't authenticated into Amazon and doesn't have access to the cookies and other internal state within Chrome. The personal information displayed must have come in the clipboard rather than by running the javascript and getting it from Amazon.
