Because most people prefer to use \emph.

Don't worry, just make the changes.  Only the differences will be 
stored, so when the built-in things are updated, everything should stay 
working.  The way I would recommend to make this change so that it will 
best avoid conflicts is:

  1. duplicate the command/snippet which does the \emph, and
     move it to  your own personal bundle.  Then change it to
     do \textit instead of \emph
  2. remove the keyboard shortcut on the original command.

Now the difference that will be stored in the LaTeX bundle is just to 
turn off the keyboard shortcut, which should (hopefully) never run into 
any conflicts.
