Keyboards are dumb

Why do keyboards have stupid shit like Scroll Lock and Pause Break on them, but not useful keys like 'Copy' and 'Paste'?

Mac keyboards aren't any smarter...the Home and End keys do not go to the beginning and end of a line respectively. Instead, you have to hit two keys (Command + Left/Right Arrow) to accomplish this very simple, very fucking obvious task. Why? Stupid.

And Caps Lock should be banished to some kind of two-handed, three key shortcut. Nobody needs to write anything in all caps. At the very least, if you are going to put it on its own key, move it far, far away from the rest of the keys. Heck...put it where Pause Break is...
