No, having CUA mode on by default is off the table.

This proposal has been discussed before, and there are many problems
with it.  For instance, by default, C-c LETTER is reserved for user
customizations; CUA prevents such key bindings when the region is
active.

Let's not revisit this discussion.  It is not difficult to turn on CUA
mode, for those who want it; it's even in the Options menu.
