How do you mean that?  If the menu item shows the C-w shortcut for
kill-region but does not do the same as C-w, that would be no less
confusing.

And as nearly every other modern application uses the clipboard for
copy'n paste keyboard shortcuts, Emacs not doing this by default will
irritate novice users anyway.
