People with disabilities and accessibility issues (blind, low vision, limited or poor motor function, etc) all have friends and family. These users buy gifts for their friends and families. Sometimes they even buy groceries for themselves. That makes these users your potential customers. Traversing the web for them is already remarkably difficult, but they do it to buy things for their loved ones. When they traverse the web they do so using a multitude of tools including specialised screen readers or keyboard and mouse controllers. Do you know what these users do when they come across your super-aesthetic futuristic website and you hijack the selection functionality for their screen reader? They just bounce to another site or service where selection works. If your site sells something but has been designed for aesthetics only (hijacking the scroll function, removing indicators of selection, disabling right-click functionality etc) you are excluding almost anyone over 50 (that suffers from low vision) and EVERYONE with accessibility requirements. Don't do it. Amazing design is being able to make something aesthetically gorgeous, while also meeting or exceeding as much of the WCAG guidelines as possible.
