Good point. Let’s throw out all our inherent biases.

Would you expect your OS to have application-specific shortcuts for systemwide, cross-application functions like copy and paste?

Of course not, that’s insane.

I use a Linux desktop as my daily driver FWIW, I’ve “gotten used to it” too. But this doesn’t mean its the best way.

Maybe? The point in the comment I left you is that some kind of expectation has to be violated here. I don't find the Linux choice (to remap a system-wide shortcut for a single developer-centric application) to be too intrusive. But YMMV.
