Yes.  That's almost certainly why.

IIRC, I argued early on (like ratpoison 0.0.2 days or something) that
C-a should be the default out of the box, for the same reason
(screen(1) compat), and Shawn disagreed, and that was that :).  I
still believe, at some level that C-a should be, or should have been
the default, but its definitely too late now, I think.
