If the region activates as a side effect of otherwise innocent
commands, such as M-> or C-s or C-x C-x, then I'd object deleting it
as well. Even if I explicitly mark the region with C-SPC followed by
cursor motion commands, it does not yet mean I'm about to replace it
with another text. I might just want to M-w it or something.
Or you might see some characters before point (and outside the region)
and decide to delete them before operating on the region as you
planned to do.
Here's a possible idea: enable delete-selection-mode by default
but only after shift-selection and mouse-selection.
