Possible enhancement: Change default binding of `C-x 5 2' to
`clone-frame'. Unlike `make-frame-command', `clone-frame' would use the
same frame-parameter values as the selected frame. Here's a possible
definition of `clone-frame':
(defun clone-frame (&optional frame)
"Make a new frame with the same parameters as FRAME.
FRAME defaults to the selected frame. The frame is created on the
same terminal as FRAME. If the terminal is a text-only terminal then
also select the new frame."
(interactive)
(let* ((default-frame-alist (frame-parameters frame))
(new-fr (make-frame)))
(unless (display-graphic-p) (select-frame new-fr))))

Hmm, how common is it to have a frame that doesnʼt have the same frame
parameters as 'default-frame-alist', and you want to replicate them?
Personally I quite like the current behaviour.

How about you make it take a prefix argument to get back
'make-frame-command' semantics (or keep the current ones, and add
'clone-frame' semantics to the prefix arg)?

It's definitely the case for me. I use several kinds of special-display frames. If I use it on a *Help* frame get a *Help* frame (same background etc.). If I use it on an *info* frame I get an *info* frame, and so on.
If it's not the case for you then you should get pretty much the same behavior as now. I don't think you'll notice a difference.

Fair enough.
(defun clone-frame (&optional frame no-clone)
"Make a new frame with the same parameters as FRAME.
With a prefix arg, don't clone - just call `make-frame-command'.
FRAME defaults to the selected frame. The frame is created on the
same terminal as FRAME. If the terminal is a text-only terminal then
also select the new frame."
(interactive "i\nP")
(if no-clone
(make-frame-command)
(let* ((default-frame-alist (frame-parameters frame))
(new-fr (make-frame)))
(unless (if (fboundp 'display-graphic-p) (display-graphic-p) window-system)
(select-frame new-fr)))))

I don't have an opinion on which behaviour should be the default,
but I like the idea of adding such prefix argument behaviour to the
C-x 5 2 binding so that users can choose between the two, so +1 to
that idea in general.

I've now added this to Emacs 28 (with some trivial changes) -- bound to
`C-x 5 c'.
