I think, you can solve that with keyboard/mouse shortcuts without moving the cursor at all. What’s the reason why they don’t do that?

You cannot get the level of control out of keyboard shortcuts that you can with fine grained mouse movements. It'd be like trying to play a videogame while controlling camera movement with a controller DPAD/arrow keys.
I didn’t talk about using keyboard alone…
You didn't, but if we're introducing the mouse, we haven't dismissed the issues stemming from the lack of pointer warping.
Why would introducing a mouse interface necessitate pointer warping? There are several millions/billions of apps which utilize mouse and doesn’t need pointer warping.

So the second time, why is it needed in this case, and why it cannot be solved other ways?
