Much less convenient, really? Do you find `C-n' as inconvenient as
`C-j', so you customize Emacs to replace `C-n' also? `C-a'? `C-e'?

Emacs does that too, with `C-j'. Easily reached by most, I think.
But any user is free to bind some other key for this. If one finds
`<f9>' or `<kp-enter>' (or even `RET') better, then it's easy enough
to substitute it.
Sorry, I'm with Richard on this one. You seem to be viewing a local
mole hill (if even that) from a foreign vantage point and seeing a
mountain. `C-j' is a good choice for Emacs, here. Let's keep `RET'
for what it does and `C-j' for what it does.
