More realistically, the reason may have been that
diff-mode isn't necessarily a read-only mode, and
so you need a command such as this which doesn't
imply modifying the buffer (RET is no good here).
There is also M-o and M-RET but these were (and
most importantly probably still are) harder to hit or
bind on some terminals.
