I do agree that it's overblown. But I found the bindings more "sleek" for me personally. Vanilla Emacs keybinds seemed very odd to me, and was the biggest barrier to entry when I first looked at Emacs in high school. I appreciate projects like Doom that bring it all together in a neat and (more) intuitive package.
