For those of you with Apple devices, I’m pretty sure current versions of Mac OS and iOS remove tracking arguments from URLs when you use cut/copy/paste/share.

This is about removing tracking arguments that identify users, this is not the case here.

The example in your link even show it's keeping campaign tracking arguments. So I'm pretty sure it would keep the one we are talking about here.
