Why not?  The keys mentioned by Wikipedia _also_ do in CUA Mode what
Wikipedia says they should, so what's exactly the problem?

IOW, there's more than one interpretation of CUA, and Emacs supports
them all, or at least tries to.  The second group of keys you mention
is what is known as "CUA" on DOS and Windows systems.
