How is that different than `M-> M-0 C-l'?

M-0 C-l is something you usually type on purpose. Scrolling the mouse
wheel past the end of file is something you will frequently do by
accident if you use a mouse wheel. Going past EOF doesn't really have
a sane use. [1] [2]

[1] But of course, it should be made configurable so all the nutty
purists out there can have it their way, too.
[2] Granted, I'm also not sure that mice have a sane use.

Go to a file about two windows long and roll the mouse wheel,
supposing that you have it configured.
Notice how on the last page we can roll the text almost off the screen
upwards, exposing large amounts of 'outer space' beyond the end of the
file.
By default we should be stopped from wasting our "wheel breath" like
that.
Nobody lives there, mom said not to go loitering, end of file markers
present or not.
