Those keybindings are one of the very few features of macOS I missed after going back to GNU/Linux. It's such a nice thought, especially with macOS using the command key for most, uh, commands - it doesn't impose any burden on non-emacs-users, but for those who are used to those keybindings, it's bliss.

GTK used to support a similar thing up to version 2? One needed to enable it with: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme "Emacs" Sadly, I think support was removed. Part of the problem was that this and other themes were in conflict with preset bindings, e.g C-p for a print dialog.

  It wasn't removed. These days, the setting is still exposed in GNOME Tweaks.

  Yeah, on macOS it works well, because the Ctrl-based shortcuts don't get in the way of the regular keybindings.

Those are 'readline' keybindings actually, and available in many term, shells, repls... Sometimes, just a config away.
