Does anyone understand why Microsoft hates Ctrl-Ins and Shift-Ins?

Does anyone understand why Microsoft hates Ctrl-Ins and Shift-Ins?

Ctrl-Ins key combination for copying objects into clipboard and Shift-Ins key combination for pasting them from it have been around since I started working with DOS programs. Then they became natural habits under Windows 3.1, OS/2, and subsequent versions of Windows. So far, it is a smooth ride.

Fast forward to the emergence of Microsoft Help Viewer, Microsoft SSRS Report Builder, and some other products by that company. Suddenly, the above key combinations do not work anymore, but Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V do work.

Can anyone explain inexplicable hostility and hatred by Microsoft of the former keyboard shortcuts? What is wrong with them (MS) so that they neglect to support or deliberately choose not to support them in some areas of some of their products?
