I mostly agree, however it seems that a certain core of editor controls has managed to spread and become a commonly available default in various products. The emacs shortcuts in particular seem to be available any place there is a text editor box like in browsers, in web IDEs, mainstream IDEs like VSCode or IntelliJ etc etc and as such I think it makes good sense to learn those just as a matter of education.
