Some keyboards actually have keys labeled by those names.

Every graphics display should present the same.  That is the result of
the call to menu-bar-enable-clipboard that is part of x-win.el,
w32-win.el, and mac-win.el.  They rebind Edit->Cut, Copy, and Paste to
special clipboard-* functions; those functions are not by default
bound to C-w, M-w, and C-y that I think you expected to find.

You mean, C-w etc.?  They invoke different functions.
