I take it for granted that if we enable something like
delete-selection-mode, we'll only make it do something when the region
is active, so people who turned t-m-m off will only be affected when
they do C-u C-x C-x or when they do C-SPC C-SPC to explicitly activate
the region (or when they select with the mouse).  In this sense, people
who turned off t-m-m pretty much won't be affected.
