My limited understanding is this: Without the concept of activeness, you can't tell whether to operate on a single thing or a region. Old workarounds were to have -region commands, which polluted the key space; or C-u, which polluted the prefix space. t-m-m came along and solved it. Region versions of many emacs commands won't be available if you don't turn it on.
Carbon emacs, and probably the default emacs, have t-m-m on by default. -- Myalgic encephalomyelitis denialists are knowingly causing further suffering and death by opposing biomedical research on this serious infectious disease.
