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).
