It's a valid style of arguing about something.

Yes, but the price for using so many single-character bindings is very
heavy: look how heavily they use function keys and Shift/Ctrl/Alt
variations of them.  It's a pain to type with such bindings.

Anyway, this is going nowhere: Emacs will never turn CUA on by
default.  We might as well stop arguing.
