As a learner, I think you're focused on the movement commands so much
that you are forgetting that they are only four of hundreds of
commands that are bound to various key sequences on multiple layers
under your finger tips. As you learn the other key sequences, you'll
find that the mnemonic help in remembering the less used commands and
the vertical relation between control and meta is much more important
than any initial desire to cluster the four movement keys in some
central location.

Those are excellent points.  In fact, the 4 basic movement commands
usually become less used as one learns that there are more efficient
ways to navigate, and even more efficient ways to edit that require less
navigation.
