Of course if an app asks for some very dangerous permissions somebody will grant them to it even if they don't belong to the app's advertised functionality.
Naming and description could help a little: Full access to copy and paste (maybe somebody doesn't know what clipboard means), it allows this app to access everything is selected and copied including passwords, private data, etc. Only keyboards and clipboard managers should get this permission.

I don't think the problem of users not reading the text in warning messages can be solved with having them read even more text.
Actually this is an old problem, people do not read message boxes, popups, warnings, etc:
The permission should be just "allow to read clipboard when the app doesn't have focus". Only clipboard managers should need this to read clipboard data in the background. Any other read of the clipboard should have been triggered by a user action in the app that requires the read, and that's what the OS should enforce.
