You can set the mark, move somewhere else, type stuff there, and return
using C-x C-x, again typing stuff there, without destroying anything you
have written.

The mark is, well, a _mark_.  Something you can set temporarily easily,
later to return.

There is no other mechanism, even half as straightforward and easy to
use, for doing that kind of thing.

Your polemics are just showing that you have chosen to willfully ignore
the others' position and the respective advantages they see in the
current defaults.  Is your position so weak that you have to resort to
such tactics?
