Nothing as such, but it makes a nice interface to have this on two
function keys next to each other. Of course I biased, as I first
implemented and started using kmacro 10 years ago!!
Actually, back then, no function keys had default bindings (not even
F1), so I put it on F1 and F2 ... and I still have it there :-)
And since then, I use keyboard macros _A LOT_ -- because it is now so
easy to start(!), end and call them...

Nothing's stolen from the user. He is offered a service which he can
refuse to use. I don't see the harm.
