It's been in that position, above the left shift, in every keyboard I've ever used. And that includes typewriters, where the Caps Lock mechanically locked the shift key below it (which is mechanically linked to the shift key on the other side) on the down position; a quick press on the shift key released the lock. That is, it's a fact of life, like Ç being to the right of L; that key being anywhere else would be unusual.
> Indeed, does anyone ever actually use CAPSLOCK?
When typing a long sequence of uppercase characters, it's much more comfortable than holding down the shift key for the whole sequence. It affecting only letters, instead of everything like on a typewriter, doesn't matter much since it's normally used for a sequence of letters.
