I think it is pretty safe to assume that many Linux people use BASH.

READLINE
This is the library that handles reading input when using
an interactive shell, unless the -nolineediting option is
given. By default, the line editing commands are similar
to those of emacs. A vi-style line editing interface is
also available.

I don't remember seeing complains saying bash should certainly not
force emacs-bindings down someone's throat.
IMHO, having some consistencies across applications that involve
editing is good. Having said that, are key bindings of an editor
appropriate for dselect is another question.
