Its because of vi. Not to start an argument, but evil package for emacs is best 
of both worlds,
its vim with Elisp scripting, and my brain is already hardwired for vi keys for 
decades).

When typing fast in vi mode, its really frustrating to be typing, then press 
Esc o to
exit insert mode and start new line, only for it to be interpreted as M-o.  Its 
even worse
when typing over a slow-laggy ssh connections.

Thus most vi-junkies have their terminals configured with metaSendEscape:false
