Thanks Joar for this helpfull information!

Good or bad..
While i can see usability arguments in favor of this design, i don't see
benifits in hardcoding or reserving modifier keys, limiting me in my
options.

Makes the idea of cusomizable shortcuts rather useless ..

That's why you can't assign keyboard shortcuts with the Option modifier key to this command (and others like it).
