The current text suggests it was done deliberately:
Many key combinations (known as ``keyboard shortcuts'') that have
conventional uses in MS-Windows programs conflict with traditional
Emacs commands. This conflict arose because the designers of the CUA
interface implemented by MS-Windows did not try to avoid conflict with
Emacs.
The second sentense is superfluous at best.
The text continues:
Examples of conflicts include @kbd{C-c}, @kbd{C-x}, @kbd{C-z},
@kbd{C-a}, and @address@hidden You can redefine some of them with
meanings more like the MS-Windows meanings by enabling CUA Mode
(@pxref{CUA Bindings}).
As I've tried to say, the CUA (or rather C-[zxcv]) bindings are
no longer MS-Windows specific ... the text could just as well
have said GNOME [in a non-MS-DOG context].
Also the text is overly cryptic ... why not just say:
You can resolve these conflicts by enabling CUA Mode.
