No, because you are actually removing any way for users to go to the
beginning of the minibuffer.

Sorry, I don't believe that number has any basis.
I once agreed to changing the meaning of UP and DOWN arrows in the
minibuffer, through similar arguments, and since then not one day
passes that I don't regret that, because it drives me mad that
sometimes UP shows the previous history element and sometimes I need
to type M-p instead. I'm very sorry, but this change, if done, will
have to be an opt-in change (and I prefer for it not to be done at
all).
