I beg your pardon? Haiku is not first introduced to users of any platform in particular. Haiku exists and is open to everyone, and many people here have a background in BeOS, or in Windows, Linux, Mac OS X or something else. Not sure what you mean here.
Obviously, no one is expecting Haiku to use Command+C by default because that key doesn't really exist on most PC keyboards (and using the Windows key wouldn't be too nice). It's a natural choice for Haiku to match the defaults of BeOS and to provide ways for the users to change them if they wish, just like some systems allow to replace default scrollbars with Windows-like ones.
Working with OSX, GNOME/JDS and Haiku in parallel has the downside of confronting you with three different modifier keys (by default), but it's manageable, and it's reconfigurable on Haiku and OSX at least.
