I think something like this is only worthwhile if we were changing a 
whole bunch of bindings. Like not just C-o, but also C-n and C-s, to 
their "other software" counterparts.

Perhaps not by default, but as a part of some "keybindings theme". Since 
the goal of the experiment was to free up the binding, that could've 
been beneficial in the context of such themes (the fewer important 
default bindings a theme touches, the fewer of them it has to reassign), 
but indeed not particularly critical given that C-o's current binding 
has no standard counterparts in other editors.
