Helix does not aim to be a better vim / neovim. Thus, for example, there are officially no vim bindings and Helix follows the selection → action model. Helix is also a relatively new project.

I don’t feel like this is true anymore. Many distros do not ship vi(m) anymore but only nano.

Seems like most rpm based distro still ship vi/vim and don't default to nano.

Good to know. In Debian and Gentoo nano is the only editor by default.
