Keep in mind this is likely unique to CLI users. The vast majority of users have little use for arrow keys - nudging the text cursor a few chars left/right and making tiny moves in graphics software are about the only two I can think of.

Even then. If you're strictly CLI you should likely prefer Ctrl+b, Ctrl+n, Ctrl+p, Ctrl+n, etc etc

Not just CLI but also browsers when you don't want to get bitten by infinite scroll adjustments moving your scrollbar cursor placement and then pressing down before noticing and accidentally scrolling past 50% of the page you were just trying to read.
