Very often, I accidentally export a map where a feature is still selected. On the flipside, I have never wanted to export a map where a certain feature should be selected! So I would love for an automatic de-selection of everything before exporting a map. 

This could be another tick-box in the export settings, where the default is that everything will be de-selected, but just in case someone actually wants to export a map with a selection, you can un-tick the box to keep it. It would save so many hours in re-exporting just because you forgot to clear the selection.

Agree! This used to burn all of us in ArcMap also...in this case, let's improve the software!

This is available in ArcGIS Pro 3.3 with the new Show selection symbology checkbox on the Element pane.
