No, I don't see that anywhere. Why would that be the case?

You ask us to visit that node, but there is nothing there supporting your claim
- which you subsequently admit. Just what would you like us to look for in that
node?

Sure is. Unrelated, irrelevant, unimportant.
C-x today, yesterday, and tomorrow is an _excellent_ choice as an Emacs key
prefix. It is easy-to-hand. And it has been conventional in Emacs (and even
beyond) for over 30 years.
Saying that C-x is a bad choice because of CUA is like saying that driving on
the right side of the road is a bad choice because of Britain (or Japan or
India... - no flames please) - http://www.brianlucas.ca/roadside/. When in
CUA-land, follow the rules of the CUA road, but don't expect folks across the
border to do the same.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with users or 3rd-party code using the C-x
prefix. Or else there is a new restriction/convention that I am not aware of.
The conventions stated in `(elisp) Key Binding Conventions' are long-standing
and pretty carefully thought out. There are enough such restrictions, IMO. I
do not support adding C-x to any list of bindings "reserved for Emacs internal
use".
