What is the purpose of “paste newlines as carriage returns” in the Terminal app?
In the settings of the Terminal app, in the advanced tab, there is an option to "Paste newlines as carriage returns" which is enabled by default.
What is this good for?
macos terminal command-line

Converts the ASCII n bytes into r bytes, or line feeds into carriage returns. This way the system ignores any possible UNIX to MAC line-ending confusion when pasting from the Terminal.

Sometimes you want to paste exactly what you've copied into something...say a document you're editing in nano or vi and want to preserve it exactly as it is.
Or, you could want to past the CR so it executes the command.
Perhaps the default action to pastes exactly what was copied makes more sense than altering a paste buffer before the application processes the clipboard.

Heads up - I removed the side question from the main question. I tried to make your answer make more sense reflecting the change above.
