That's not the proposal, that's the way you look at the proposal. The
proposal is to free one or two keys, and to reserve them for third-party
libraries. Freeing one or two keys is (would be) an effort from the
viewpoint of Emacs, which would give more freedom to both Emacs (to use
the other keys as it wishes) and to third-party libraries (to use these
keys as they wish).
Your proposal, "to reserve _ALL_ keys currently not bound by default", has
I fear no chance whatsoever to be adopted. Emacs evolves, and deciding
that it cannot bind any new key from now on would be an arbitrary
constraint that would impair its evolution.
