I don't know. I'd need to think about this. But "all commands"
sounds too many ;-)

Those "other applications" only support region operations on
highlighted text, which avoids using (the equivalent of) point. Emacs
could do that as well (but it will have to preserve point in this
hypothetical mode when highlighting text with point outside of the
viewport).
