It seems you have misunderstood what the 'user-select' property is for.
As the name suggests, it's for controlling what the *user* can select
on the page.  The page author can still select any part of the page
using script, as you did in the example.  The 'user-select' property
doesn't affect script at all.

Let me know if I misunderstood what you are trying to demonstrate
with the example.
