So do I, and I have a decades-old muscle memory that tells me
CNTRL-ALT-F1 will get me a logged-in console.  Having to reprogram that
is a (minor) nuisance. It will be a much larger nuisance for the new
users who will diligently read up on Linux before trying it (yes, there
are people who do that) and learn that CNTRL-ALT-F1 gets them to a
console and ALT-F7 gets them back to X.
