    When were you surprised?  Can you give specifics?

Often by typing a self-inserting char when there was an active region.
Today it happened with C-o.

I think this feature should only apply to selections made using the mouse
and shift-arrows.  The people who are used to deleting selections
are used to making selections in those ways.
