Maybe because > ESC on a terminal is not so convenient. I don't think it is that. There's nothing hard about typing M-g on the Linux ttys.

I think the reason there is not much on the M-g prefix is that we haven't seen many ideas of what to put in it. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
