"Many programs" are not Emacs.  Most programs do not use anywhere
near the number of key bindings Emacs uses (out of the box).
Binding keys by default is not something to do lightly.

"Many programs" use CUA keys too.  Emacs does not, except by user
opt-in (`cua-mode').  That's the right approach, IMO.

Yes to keeping C-x C-= as text-scale-adjust.
No, C-= does not current run text-scale-adjust; it is unbound.
