Modern computer text output devices don’t have a “carriage” or a “feed” mechanism. I’d argue both CR and LF are legacy, anachronistic characters whose purpose was too device specific to make sense as a text encoding.

Sure, there's a text encoding part and an equipment control part that puts the CII in ASCII.
