 "still"?
 "fundamental command"?

In the 35+ years of Emacs, has anyone actually
requested/missed this?

We seem to be adding this & that simple command
more & more - perhaps just because it's available
in other editors?

(Next, we'll dedicate a default key for this...)

The right approach for this kind of thing, IMO, is
for users to create and use such a command.  Then
after a while they start asking for it by default,
and we maybe add it, if it's a real lack.

I've nothing against such a command.  But I've
also never felt the need for it.
