your arguments make sense, and I have implemented this.
To have separate values, set org-special-ctrl-a/e to a cons
cell with the setting for C-a in the car and the setting for
C-e in the cdr.

I have found the behavior of the cursor at the beginning of the line to be clumsy, and troublesome. I cannot easily set a region, for example.
However, the special setting of ctrl-e is extremely useful.
A single variable controls these two variables, in a unified way. This variable also has two aliases. The aliases are not recognized by the functions that are affected by these variables in org.el: org-beginning-of-line, and org-end-of-line. As far as I can see, there seems no reason to keep these two aliased variables as references to a single unified variable, insofar as the underlying code is concerned.
Because, at least for me, the behaviors have sufficiently distinct behaviors, I propose these should be separated.
I am unable to code lisp to the level of skill necessary to do the work myself. At some point, I would be willing to work on this as a "first off" hack. I cannot do so at present due to work obligations.
