I don't have statistics about the copy operations in the attribute table so
I cannot confirm or deny, sorry.

I guess that in some cases you might want to copy the localized format to
paste it in something used for presentation purposes.

I'd suggest you to open a feature request where we can discuss this issue:
it might be possible to implement it in a copy routine when selecting the
cells in the attribute table.

But again, I'm not 100% sure this is always the desired behavior.

Please note that we have two different localized elements (for floating
numbers) here:
- decimal separator (floating numbers only)
- thousand separator
