I think back in Ye Olde Days it was harder for people who just had a scrollbar, and weren't necessarily all that familiar with that, either.
There has never been a technical need for it. The "Home" keyboard button when pressed on a web page has taken you to the top probably since the very first web browser was released. But there's a lot of computer users for whom that entire complex of keys off to the right of Enter on a standard keyboard is The Outer Hinterlands, Where There Be Dragons, except for maybe the arrow keys. Also the entire line of function keys. Not everyone is an expert.
- unkulunkulu 5y agoReading your post I realized that I have not pressed a Home button for years. Now I have a strong Home button (and full sized keyboard in general) nostalgia and cannot sleep! I will just go ahead and press it next time I see a full sized keyboard I swear!

- phailhaus 5y agoIt's more useful for mobile, where there isn't a "home" key and you'll often need to scroll back up to access menus/filters/etc.
