Command is Super on xNix, which is "the Windows key" on MS-branding-compliant kit.
But Haiku, GNUstep and the Hello System all do this too. I personally dislike it, but apparently, for many people, they remember the physical location of the key, not the function. Puzzling to me -- my msucle memory is by functional role, not what is next to the spacebar -- but hey.
Yes, I agree with you. I do not like the way Elementary simply does not implement things that are givens on Windows, or macOS, or other Linuxes.
But I give them this credit: they implement a minimal set of what they want, it looks good and it's very clean and consistent, and that seems to be enough to keep a lot of people happy. This is what I tried to spell out: if you have an existing way of working, existing muscle memory, then this environment won't work well for you and isn't adaptable or customisable to make it so.
