Just because you want to use some feature, so
you load its package, that doesn't imply that
you also want to add a bunch of global key
bindings.

Loading is one choice/option.  Adding some key
bindings for some of its commands is another,
additional choice/option.

It's possible, but not necessary, to couple the
two.  Why do so, and especially, why do so as
soon as the library is added to Emacs?
