This is due to the way the pdf's are generated, in Scribus pdf files every letter of a text is set with his own TJ command. Due to the various adjustment possibilitys in Scribus there is no other way to do it. Having all the text of a text frame in one TJ command is simply not possible, unless you like horrible looking pdf's.

Sorry for reopening, just wanted to know how Indesign and other PDF Creators manage that so that the copy&paste results are much better?

Indesign and other Adobe products use heavily the XML and marked Content extensions of PDF, thats why they can provide better results.
