Word-wise motion is anything but fine-grained, and you can still move
word-wise with Ctrl-left and Ctrl-right.
Did you set your key repeat to be utterly slow, or did you turn it off
entirely?
Other software also uses Ctrl-left and Ctrl-right, so why would anyone,
especially new Emacs users, think of using something so unlikely as
Alt-left or Alt-right for cursor movement?
There are other reasons, too, like using Alt requires using two hands,
which is ok for infrequent things like history movement, and silly for
cursor movement.
