No it's a completely silly thing to do (or even waste time arguing about).
Emacs keybindings are not arbitrary, and they're a highly ingrained part of
the editor and its culture. To change them in any large way, there would
have to be a _very_ good reason, and you certainly haven't shown one.
MSWindows keybindings are not particularly great, and in my experience, most
MSWindow users don't even _use_ keybindings (or know them), beyond the
C-c/C-x/C-v triumvirate and the `shift-movement' selection -- both of which
cua-mode handles.
