I've also been greatly annoyed by bitpay with the way they handle payments, ( Me being unable to copy the adress and amount manually easily.)
Was looking for exactly this. Thank you.
Mmm, I'll pass, for a few bucks sure, for a 1k+ USD transaction, I need to get the address straight from bitpay, not from some 3rd party website that gives me who knows what btc address...
My thoughts were that too, I guess if you don't trust them you can try to run a script decoder yourself, (or do as TryNinja specified, that seems to work aswell.)
Not entirely sure if it works though, as i haven't ran it myself.

This article is also pretty interesting,
https://medium.com/provoost-on-crypto/decoding-a-bip-70-payment-request-ca4a28b55fa5, but, again, i haven't looked into it enough to see if it's actually "true" what he's saying. (Use at own risk!)
Why don't you just contact the seller and tell him about your issues with that payment gateway?Most sellers have their contact info available online(usually an email address) and they will be willing to help.Nobody wants to lose a customer.
I doubt a multimillion $ business is going to change their payment methods just because there is one customer that has problems with it, especially if they're still arguably the best(-looking) bitcoin payment processor.
Me I am just hearing this method the first time and what is wrong in putting those who technological understanding of crypto is zero in mind?
I really wouldn't argue that Bitpay made it easier for people that have a smaller understanding of bitcoin/crypto in general to make payments using this system vs the old system.
For one, if you have a webwallet ( blockchain.info ( which most inexperienced people have)) you won't be able to make a payment with this current system without decoding it yourself. the bitcoin: link just doesn't work with the webwallet ( atleast as far as i've experienced).
