I don't find it uncommon to have one. Indeed, with Emacs' transient
mark mode (which is part of a lot of user convenience settings), one
has a selection quite often without particular purpose.

Given that Emacs itself pretty lusciously waves selections around when
transient-mark-mode is enabled, that sounds like a rather heavy
request which Emacs itself does not heed.
