That is probably one reason. But the Mail.app and TextEdit.app on Mac
OSX
are not descendant from any BSD programs, so Apple is extending these
bindings to new programs as well.
My point being, making CUA default on Mac is not going to give
Mac users what they expect. Mac should not be said to use the same
"agreed" key bindings as Gnome/KDE/MS Windows in this regard. Now if
CUA mode could use M-x/M-x/M-v on Mac, then we could discuss about
making it the default on Macs also.
