GIMP is the only application I know of where the selection mask is considered actual document content (rather than an interface entity used for manipulating document content). That was a very workflow-breaking issue to come to terms with, and actually much more so than Save vs. Export.

In Paint Shop Pro and Excel the selection is also saved with document.

I actually find that behavior quite convenient. Sometimes I have a complex selection mask created that impacts multiple layers, and cannot complete the task until later. Saving the xcf with mask is very helpful.

Speaking of Excel, Excel has really weird cut-and-paste behavior compared to every other app I know; the Cut command doesn't actually remove anything from the document or place it on the clipboard, it just marks it with marching ants (distinct from the normal click-and-drag selection) and only when you hit the Paste command does it actually cut/paste. A side effect is that you can only do one paste per cut (unlike with copy/paste).
