Po Lu, you are often so absolute :-)

As I said, there's a use case for some of us old... whatevers. I set
`select-enable-primary' to t and am pretty happy with it. I see and
understand the issues you raise, and wouldn't recommend that setting
to many. But I'm with Emacs 25-something, have no Qt to speak of and
am /still/ happy. And glad to have the option.

Cheers & thanks for all your hard work, BTW.
