Yes I agree having to press Esc is dumb. I think on some early keyboards Esc was lower down the keyboard or something. That's why you should bind caps lock to switch between insert/command modes. No one seriously needs CRUISE CONTROL anyway.
Plus as I've mentioned several times, no one is forcing you to use hjkl. The arrow keys are right there for you, so bitching about a feature you're never going to use is dumb. Really dumb.
