Just a guess, but the keystroke combination of insert control w is easier than 
that of insert alt w and they felt that that the word index feature would be 
used more than virtualizing window.

Just an off the top of my head guess.

  Silly question, probably, but has FS explained why they changed a familiar 
keystroke (insert-control-w) for a new one instead of assigning that new 
combination to the new function?

  And if you can think of a key combination that is even less painful than 
that, you can always go into the Keyboard Manager and ease the pain by changing 
to it in the Action Menu.

  Oops. I guess I'm adding the shift when I don't need to. Okay, slightly less 
painful.

  Here it is from the the What's new in Jaws help for version 11.

  Virtualize Current Window The Virtualize Current Window keystroke is now 
INSERT+ALT+W. The previous keystroke, INSERT+CTRL+W, is now used for Word Index.

  Virtualize Current Control The Virtualize Current Control keystroke is now 
INSERT+ALT+SHIFT+W. The previous keystroke was INSERT+CTRL+SHIFT+W.

  JAWS HELP is a nice resource.
