I've got this bound globally as well. It just makes sense with the global idea that C- is for atomic movements, and M- for group movement. When I first learnt about movement in emacs, I was quite surprised to see that those two weren't bound. Setting them as default would not inconvenience anyone (it'd only add bindings when none are present), and make emacs more coherent. An issue though is that some modes bind these. For instance message-mode uses M-n as message-display-abbrev. But in the global keymap, and in many modes, M-n and M-p are free. And more keybindings is always a good thing, isn't it? ;)
