Because they are not "obsolete" by any measure.  They are highly
popular key bindings that I, FWIW, am using every day.

And btw, I can never understand these arguments about changing what
Emacs does by default.  You can easily rebind the keys yourself, so
why force your personal preferences on everyone else?

It's not strange, it's called stability.
