We learned in sales to take the viewpoint of a customer to understand
customer better. Now imagine people using C-o for decades and now C-o
does not do what it is supposed to do, but then in other editors
related to Emacs it does what is supposed to do. This impacts users
greatly.
I am multi-editor user, so imagine I start using in vi editor
something like `i i' to insert letters, or `O O' to insert new line,
then one Emacs version will be claiming that C-o does this, the other
that C-o C-o does what C-o was doing. Counting with millions of Emacs
users that brings some implications.
