Out of curiosity, what do you think GitHub adds that copy button for?

No idea, never used it, it doesn’t make any sense to include the username, and if it doesn’t make sense to you I suggest contacting GitHub too. Maybe it does make sense and changing it breaks someone’s workflow.

so I don’t need [to] hit ctrl + C

You’re asking for a feature to avoid pressing a single keystroke and changing the habit. Doesn’t seem worth it to me.

There are a million ways to check out PRs and they’re available on the page. I don’t think we need to change the behavior of a button to add one more way to do things. Also selecting the branch name is still possible.
