A break from a named loop is one statement and a label. A goto is one statement and a label. You don’t lose structure by putting the label at the end of the loop instead of the beginning. Unnamed break is incredibly common, so having a built-in shorthand is quite ergonomic; it also lets you avoid defining a label, which named break doesn’t do. The argument for continue is similar, but continue is less common and maybe doesn’t justify its keyword status. else, for, and do-while all take blocks, so they have the opportunity to encode structure in a way that a break from a named loop doesn’t.
