Just makes the user interaction more confusing.

In particular, in some cases it might not be obvious to a user
that s?he is at the last line, or s?he might not notice that fact.

Or s?he might intentionally hold down `C-n' or `C-p' to get to the
end or start without counting or looking after each keypress.

YAGNI.
