Well at least historically, I suppose one reason is because such
combinations (control + shift) don't work on ttys.

Perhaps they'd make sense as "optional" bindings these days, but if you
do that _too_ much, there's a risk of tilting the entire keybinding
scheme in a way that makes tty usage more difficult.
