This makes sense

There's extra vertical space on the lower half of a MacBook, and the dock wastes vertical space on the screen

I normally put the dock on the side, but putting it above the keyboard works too

Now if only the damn keyboard had a proper escape key. Who signed off on that. Honestly.

It's just mislabeled as Caps Lock and has bad default behavior. A quick visit to Preferences can sort you out.
I will say, Apple at least did a good job making the remap (Caps to Esc) a really easy preferences change.
This remapping is the #1 thing that made using Vim easier. Not to mention escaping out of dialogs in macOS is much easier than lifting my hands off my keyboard.
Did this about a month ago, definitely worth it
