Copy pasting code that could be abstracted is not a usage of boilerplate I've ever encountered, usually it's just a reference to certain verbose languages where you have to write a bunch of repetitive low-entropy stuff to get anywhere, like getters and setters in java classes.
Getters and setters definitely fall into "copy/paste + macro" territory for me. Just copy/paste your field list and run a macro that turns each field into a getter and setter. Or use an IDE shortcut. Lombok obviates all this anyway of course.
