How is this different from what M-. does? or "C-x `"? or even
"C-x b", for that matter?

Many Emacs commands eventually "go" someplace.  That doesn't yet mean
they should all have a binding with the M-g prefix.  I'm saying that
we should perhaps give imenu a different key binding.  Why is that
idea being rejected without seriously considering it?
