And your reason is?

A user _explicitly specifies_ which to use, of the behaviors
the command supports.  How is that guess-what-I-mean-and-do-it?

Is `forward-char` a DWIM command, simply because it can move
different distances depending on a prefix arg?  I don't think
so, but sure, feel free to disagree.
