I assume all of these are some special combination of keys/modifiers? While I agree it’s less than ideal, at least you always know it’s going to happen if you are sort of familiar with Vim.

It's rare, in Vim, to not use commands. It is, after all, a command-oriented interface.

Any command that removes text or modifies text places the removed text into the default register.

The problem with making the default register nuke the system clipboard is that almost all text editing commands are going to nuke the system clipboard.
