There is a very simple explanation.

In microed, you are editing plain text ready to send. That's what it
does and what it was always designed to do. There is no character in
the ASCII set used for microed that can be used as an 'un-wrappable
end of line'.

A CR/LF is at the end of every visible line. Only 2 in a row can
denote an unwrappable line.

In autoformat, it is 2 CR/LFs that show when to stop recalculating the
position of the embedded CR/LFs within a paragraph.

So AC, the opposition you encounter to this idea is not a pedantic or
resistive one, but entirely a technical one.
