Huh? Why shouldn't they?  If a user sees this help:

 key             binding
 ---             -------
 C-c <timeout>   copy-region-as-kill

and s?he wants to know how to invoke
`copy-region-as-kill' starting with prefix `C-c',
where is s?he supposed to turn for that info?

If this were "an internal matter between CUA and
itself" then `C-c C-h' wouldn't (and shouldn't)
show it to users.
