Based on this, it sounds like the practical issue that matters for us
is not "support for CUA" but something else, some practical
incompatibility. What do those users actually complain about or ask

You may be right that there is no particular point in talking about
"CUA" nowadays, and that the command names and menu items should be
changed.
