If there is going to be an entire suite of commands for doing visual
motion, then it makes sense to have a uniform setting of key bindings
for them. Key bindings can always be changed by the users (famous
last words!).
The issue with C-n has been that the meaning of the command was
changed, not just a key binding. It would have been less of an issue
if it was just a key binding.
