Org mode is a major mode.  It shouldn't be binding keys in keymaps such
as `narrow-map', by default.

Please consider changing the default values of
`org-replace-disputed-keys and `org-disputed-keys' so that, by default,
Org does not create key bindings other than in its own keymaps.

Besides this general politeness, which should be expected, it makes no sense (does it?) for a command such as `org-narrow-to-element' to be bound to keys in non-Org buffers.  (And there are 3 such bindings in `narrow-map'.)

And if you disagree, and want to close this as "wont-fix",
then at least consider that a _minimum_ of politeness is
to do this:

(unless (lookup-key MAP KEY) (define-key MAP KEY COMMAND))
