Yes. `transient-mark-mode' does it.
Consider a replacement for `C-x C-x' that does not activate
the region. And a command to only activate it (without
swapping point and mark), so you can still activate it on
demand.
Coupling swapping point and mark with activating the
region - as the only way to do the former - was probably
a mistake.
It's OK to provide a command that couples the two, for
convenience for those folks (most of us?) who want that.
But perhaps we should now consider having two different
commands (plus the convenience combo).

Yes.
