And, it is simpler to code.

It is not very common for Windows applications to clear the Clipboard completely; an exception might be programs that keep large quantity of data (graphics, long texts) on the Clipboard: when you exit, they ask you whether you want to keep it.
I would not worry about this; but if you do, there might be an API function to erase this. However, I don't know how.
