Do you think we should remove the unexpected feature to copy an object just
because it's inconsistent?

Which could be seen as an inconsistency too. If you copy just the chart from
Sheet A to B the absolute data range $Sheet1.$A$1:$A$3 remains and you get the
data from sheet A. If you copy data+chart to C the range will be adjusted,
although it is defined as absolute.

IMO: touching any of this will make many users unhappy.
