Right, and I'm saying the way the region behaves is bad.

That's extremely limited thinking.  It assumes that users who use those
commands will _never_ use the Emacs repertoire of marking commands; if
they do, they'll be confronted by inconsistent behavior for no obvious
reason.  That may well discourage them from exploring further -- and
that's _bad_; the Emacs commands are superior, if unfamiliar at first.
