Not everyone uses all of the motion commands. I've been using emacs since
v18, and forward-paragraph and backward-paragraph have never been part of
my repertoire.
In addition, M-right and M-left, which I have used a lot outside of org,
for decades, behave differently in org, so the existence of motion commands
that are common in emacs (outside of org) do not guarantee an equivalent
inside of org. BTW, I think M-f and M-b are better anyways, but decades of
muscle memory die hard.
