Because it's more useful. The xref UI presents you with all matches 
right away, and you choose before visiting, so you don't really need the 
"go next" binding 98% of the time.

There's also 'next-error', which navigates between the matches too.

Exactly. That ship has sailed. If you are still not convinced, please go 
ahead and look up the older discussions for our reasoning.
