In a certain sense, global minor modes can be thought of as keybinding themes (if the main thing they do is activate a keymap). However, there is a convention that minor modes can only bind a very limited number of key sequences. Of course, a "theme" minor mode can get around that by simply disregarding that convention. I am not really familiar with cua-mode or pc-selection-mode, but I guess that this is exactly what they do. A "theme" minor mode has to be very careful, however, because it normally is intended as a substitute for the global map. The local map (usually the major mode map) overrides the global map, but not the substitutions to the global map provided by the theme minor mode. This could potentially mess up some major modes.
