Actually, transient-mark-mode has evolved a fair bit over the last few
versions of Emacs.  E.g. if you don't use transient-mark-mode, C-SPC
C-SPC will temporarily activate it and so will C-u C-x C-x (specifically
so you can use features such as comment-dwim's comment-region or undo's
undo-in-region).
Actually, nowadays the global setting of transient-mark-mode mostly just
toggles between C-SPC vs C-SPC C-SPC (and C-x C-x vs C-u C-x C-x).
