Firefox now supports clean URLs with the new "Copy link without site tracking" option : firefox

Semi-off-topic, but is there anything like a smarter clipboard on Android that can remove tracking details on paste (would be different from a plain paste)?

Not quite the same thing, but if you install LinkCleaner as a PWA using a chromium browser, it will show up as an option when sharing the link. Then you can copy to the clipboard or share it elsewhere.

Great for desktop/laptop, but I'm waiting for them to release it on mobile as well. At the very least, if they have, Mull hasn't added it yet.

Why would i ever have a link with tracking?

The fact is that there is no surefire way to get rid only of tracking parameters, because they can mix in with other legit ones that if removed would break the website you're visiting.
Last I heard, Facebook had rolled out some encrypted URL parameters, so the collective mapping efforts to manually identify parameters only used for tracking on each different website could very well be nullified if many implement something evil as that
