It should be based on frequency of usage. I can tell you that moving down a line in vim is a little more common than toggling the mouse acceleration.
I would never even type such a command. I would just copy paste it once.
Yeah well, given that mouse acceleration tends to be on by default, I need to turn it off every time I'm on a fresh install or computer I haven't used before. The last time I needed that was yesterday.
I don't want to waste time searching for a command to copy-paste when it could just be made short, simple, memorable and ergonomic. I could type xset m 0 0 faster than I could open a browser and ask google how to disable acceleration with libinput. And again: you can't just copy-paste the xinput command unless you're lucky enough that it matches your device. On my new computer, the device has a different name than on my old laptop even though it's the same damn mouse.
It should be, but how would you keep track of usage frequency?
At least it would push all the "This switch was added by someone playing with UNIX at a university in 1986 and hasn't been used since" options to the end of the list.
