Oh, and another important point is that it would make C-a `feel wrong':

In normal usage, C-a is an `absolute' movement command -- it jumps to a
fixed point and sticks there -- not a `relative' movement command (like
many other emacs movement commands).  The current operation of C-a in
comint preserves that feeling, which I think is quite important; changing
that makes the command feel kind of flaky (I know because I used emacs for
a while with `C-a moves twice' behavior, when working on the field code
for the minibuffer).
