According to "(elisp) Key Binding Conventions":

(not the exceptions listed in the info node)
while C-x is a lot safer for users. It would be very unusual for a major
mode to rebind "C-x ...", which is why I bind most of my local functions
to that map. On the other hand, something like C-c C-... will often be
shadowed by a major mode minor mode, hence I don't bother trying.
