That is not a reason to reject as that assumes generalized desktop
environments. They also use Control and Alternative in combinations,
so that would not be a reason to reject using Super in Emacs.
Good example is Alt-TAB that is often overwritten or used by Window
Manager but it has function in Emacs (don't stone me if I do not
remember which one), maybe completion, I do not remember.
You use those environments, I don't. I am using simple Window
managers, it works well for me.
Reservation of keys is not absolute reservation. But in general I
would say that there is no need for any reservations as it will not
solve problems of collisions.
