Not a proof, of course. But the fact that Dired was partly the = inspiration suggests that they were well aware of Dired's design, its UI, and its = key bindings. Which suggests that in the cases where they choose different = bindings they might well have had good reasons. But perhaps Colin or John will speak up and set things straight.
