I have no idea. I presume that many new-to-emacs users might be used to
such a command set; on the other hand I presume many existing emacs
users (upgrading to a new version) would not. We cater to both.

I haven't used cua-selection-mode enough to have a good idea of the
practical (user-visible) difference (e.g. if there are serious
incompatibilities), but cua-selection-mode (1) rebinds a bunch of very
basic commands, (2) adds a post-command hook.
Those two things aren't to be taken lightly, I think. The second is
particularly worrying.
