It is in xemacs. If you need to switch back and forth a lot between the gnuemacs and xemacs, because some hosts only have one and some only have the other, it's very handy to use the same binding in both. > M-g by default is used to change font or something like that. Exactly -- "or something like that". It's a comparatively obscure function vis-a-vis goto-line. How often do you use the standard m-g in gnuemacs? For me the answer was "never". Sounds like the same for you. So why not rebind it to goto-line and thereby have the same binding in both emacs variants at minimal cost?
