I trust that Apple isn't doing anything nefarious here, but at the same time, I'm quite grateful that others aren't so trusting. I want the "white hat" suspicious and skeptical rooting through everything. In fact, I don't think I'd trust Apple so much if it weren't for those that don't trust them. Their constructive distrust enables my trust.

The drop cap at the start of the article, is capturing pointer-events. Adding pointer-events: none; will make people who read by selecting text with the mouse happy. .single .entry-content:before { pointer-events: none; }

I suspect that the browser you are using is not spec-compliant. Pseudo-elements (like ::before and ::after) are not actually present in the DOM and are therefore not selectable.

edit: I see that you are probably referring to the z-index of the ::before element overlapping the text, preventing selection.
