Why is when you do readln() the newline character (\n) gets

Wouldn't it make more sense for that character to be stripped

I just want to add to this, that it makes it really annoying
to work
with the command line, as you kinda have to strip off the last
character
and thus cannot make the string immutable.
Try stdin.byLine, which by default strips the newline.
stdin.byLine can't strip \r\n unless you specify that as the line
terminator, in which case it can't split by \n.
