Because beginning-of-line and end-of-line are more useful and we
want to use only 1 key for these functions.

`beginning-of-buffer' and `end-of-buffer' where on M-< and M->
forever, why you avoided using them ?

One of the first things I did when I started to use Emacs (~1992)
was to change the binding of Home and End to beginning/end of line !
(That was binding of the Control Data FSE I used up to that date).

Ehud.
