Actually, a lot of applications have hidden keyboard shortcuts. So I would
call it "usual."

The standard meaning of the delete key is "delete the selection." So I'd say
the Finder has it wrong. It certainly wouldn't be the first time the Finder
got things wrong -- depending on whether you like shift for range or
discontinuous select, the Finder has either been wrong or is wrong now.
(Personally, I believe a range of files is meaningless, so discontinuous is
better.)

Given a choice between consistency between the Finder vs. consistency with
all other applications and convenience, I will happily pick the second
option.
