A comment in org-keys.el says:
;; We only set them when really needed because otherwise the
;; menus don't show the simple keys
Also, it is not true that re-binding will always work - if user binds
keys before Org mode is loaded (for example, globally), Org mode will
overwrite them.
Finally, C-c <left> / <right> conflict with winner-mode.
ESC <left> / <right> are bound to forward/backward-word by default.
