> Why can I copy-paste code and it compiles?

I think phrasing it like that is called "begging the question": you've already skipped past all the intelligence you had to apply to figure out which part of the entire internet constituted "code".

And not just any code, but code in correct language. If I copy-paste C64 Basic into the middle of a .swift file (and not as a string), it isn't going to compile.

And not just in the correct language, but a complete block of it, rather than a fragment.

"even" suggests you hold them in higher regard than I do.
