You are greatly simplifying things. In the discussions I linked, there is this,
for example:
"MSO uses ctrl+minus for soft hyphen (and ctrl+plus for super script); changing
this shortcut would be a major difference to Word."

Then, it was pointed out that Microsoft had shuffled the shortcuts *at the same
time* as the topic was being discussed in bug 45705
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoft365insiderblog/new-zoom-shortcuts-in-word/4219049

If you read the MS blog article, you will notice a very important note added
later:
"(2/20/24) UPDATE: Since publishing this post, we heard from many of you that
the Optional Hyphen and Nonbreaking Hyphen shortcuts were important to your
workflows. Rather than having you insert them via the Symbols dialog box, we’ve
added new shortcuts to give you quicker access."

So Kuba, I have to ask you, what is your proposal for selling this change to
all the users who have Ctrl+- soft hyphen in their muscle memory?
