Number of taps on current design:

  • 1 - Hold the word;

  • 2 - cut, copy, paste, >;

  • 3 - replace, style, >;

  • 4 - define, speak, >;

  • 5 - share, quote;

Number of taps on purposed design:

  • 1 - hold the word;

  • 2 - cut, copy, paste, ...;

  • 3 - cut, copy, paste, replace, style;

  • 4 - scroll to get "define, speak, share, quote";

  • 5 - tap to choose the option;

Same number of taps pn both designs;

My purpose:

  • 1 - Hold the word;

Big two-columns menu shows up with all options;

  • 2 - tap to choose the menu option;

BOOM;

Scrolling isnt a tap. The proposed design would only have 3 steps: hold, scroll, tap.

Also just by holding, it would already show more options to use because it is compact in a list view where as standard it only shows 3 options

Scrolling is more than a tap, it is a tap + movement, tap + drag. Regardless, scrolling is a user interaction.

"The proposed design would only have 3 steps: hold, scroll, tap."

You forgot the three dots to get the scrollable list.

Nope.

You know what? That's why I love linux. You want a feature? Go code yourself. It's open, it's free, and it is not that hard.

These are uninformed opinions, which no one should listen.

Look dude, that concept is something that already exists on the 💻. Something that  will someday bring to other products like the iPad and 📱. So what I'm saying is that it's a little touch. Why not get it before . Besides it's way convenient to use a feature that some people might use often than this concept above.

It's all about the user interactions count. You gotta bring it down, make it easier to get where you want. No one want to tap the screen 6, 8 or 10 times to get anywhere. I think everyone agrees with it. The design the OP is purposing is just bad. period. Doesn't improve nothing. That's it.
