> https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Key-Binding-Conventions.html

Those conventions are there to defend users.  Users are free to do what
they want.  Of course, if they rebind keys which aren't protected by the
convention, then they're at the mercy of conflicts with packages, but
that's not necessarily a problem  (and even if they use keys which are
protected by the convention, they can still get bitten by a non-abiding
package).
