It's intentionally for two reasons.
- Not bloating the context menu even more.
- HTML is read only, there's no sense in having cut & paste there.

You *could* send a proposal to kde-usability of adding Copy to the context 
menu, but I guess it gets rejected because there's a big movement to get 
stuff out of the context menu, not into it.

Note that within form fields, you *have* a context menu containing cut, copy & 
paste.

Btw, how about using MMB pasting? Select the piece of text and simply hit the 
middle mouse button over the target (e. g. form field) to paste it.
