Seriously? Do you have any reference source for this information?
AFAIK, the real truth is that this behaviour is a a result of how X
protocol is designed:
http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/xclipboard.html
" Note it's the X application itself that maintains the storage for what
it "puts" on the buffers, which makes a lot of sense when you think
about it, especially considering X's network transparency. But that
means when you close the application the content of the clipboard and
selection buffer are lost.
You can get around this behaviour by using an external application to
manage the storage for the clipboard, the standard one being xclipboard.
Note this is the reason why it's awkward to get a command line program
to paste to the clipboard. It has to fork and run until no longer
required (someone else pastes to the clipboard). See xsel
<http://www.vergenet.net/%7Econrad/software/xsel/> for an example of this."
